background
Mr. A, an oboe player, regularly appears in concerts, but the tone of the instrument (reed) varies depending on the day, with dull key movements and wet and dry tones. In order to keep the instrument and reeds in the best condition, even if we spend a lot of time adjusting the key movements and reeds, we may not be able to produce a tone that satisfies us.Problems and issues
 |
Depending on the day, the tone of the instrument (reed) varies greatly. |
Mr. A was concerned about the movement of the oboe keys during the rainy season or when it was raining, and noticed that there were many damp sounds.
On the other hand, when the weather was sunny in winter, I felt uncomfortable with the keys and dryness of the reeds.

I want to always play with beautiful tones without spending extra time on adjustments. |
On such days, Mr. A needs to adjust the movement of the oboe keys, adjust the reeds, or replace the reeds until the sound is satisfactory.
On the other hand, on a good day, you can immediately play with a good tone without much effort.
Mr. A complained to Mr. C, a clarinetist in the same band.
"When it rains like this, the sound becomes damp, and I can't get the tone I want."
Mr. A values his musical instruments.
After the performance, I told Mr. C, the clarinet player, that I was wiping off the water droplets with a swab and a cleaning feather.
Then Mr. C
"I think it's because of the humidity. Just wiping with a cloth doesn't seem to be enough."
