MikeD Posted December 22, 2019 Share Posted December 22, 2019 9 hours ago, Slingerland said: Not necessarily. No one is marching a string section this year, and several corps have used violins in their show - but as featured soloists, which is how it would make sense if a corps wanted to feature a woodwind in the pit. Just not the oboe. Please God, no oboes....😎 An oboe player the caliber of the musicians in modern DCI could be a great addition. I used an English Horn as a featured soloist with the band I wrote for and taught a number of years ago; it worked well for us. I recall Broken Arrow having a WW quartet that included a bassoon and oboe a number of years back. It was great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(There are reportedly fewer than 100 heckelphones in working order, and they cost about $50,000 apiece.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

N.E. Brigand Posted December 22, 2019 Share Posted December 22, 2019 (edited) And last but not least, a shawm! As a kid, I had this piece memorized, but on recorder. (I highly recommend Munrow's book on medieval and renaissance instruments, published in 1976, the last year of his life.) Edited December 22, 2019 by N.E.
