I’m not a muscian, but I love hearing many types of music.
A young Flautist told me that when using a flute, you lightly exhale across the top opening of the instrument: Like blowing on an opening of an empty Pop Bottle to create a sound.
Whereas, with an Oboe, you blow directly down, into that instrument.
I enjoyed what I think are Oboes in
Mozart’s Flute & Harp Concerto in C, K299.
I too am not a muscian, but I do play the Stereo.
