If there's no oboe in the orchestra (pit orchestra), what's the next best
choice to tune to? Muted trumpet? Ha. In all seriousness; Clarinet? Flute?
According to the League of American Orchestras, The penetrating tone of the
oboe is easy for all players to hear, and its ability to sustain pitch is
very
secure.<http://www.americanorchestras.org/utilities/about_the_orchestra.html>
By
those criteria, I should pick the instrument in the group that is easiest to
hear and is most stable. Of course, the volunteer community musician playing
that instrument has to be capable to sustain the pitch!
I doubt there's one clear answer, just wondering what you all do in similar
situations.
Thanks!
