| We Shall Rhyme You Into Submission | Moy: Did you hear about the new bassoon webcomic on the internet?
/ Ren: I did! There must be something we can do. / *plot* *scheme* *plan* / Ren: Gotcha! / Ren: Do you think he learned his lesson?
/ Moy: We can only hope. / {{LET THIS BE A WARNING TO YOU ALL}} http://oboe-comics.com/2008/09/02/we-shall-rhyme-you-into-submission/ |
| Pickles! | Fred: So how do you decide what to call a musician?
/ Ren: Well, you generally take their instrument and add "ist" to the end. / Ren: Oboist, bassoonist, trombonist, violinist, vocalist, that kind of thing.
/ Fred: Flute?
/ Ren: Flutist, sure!
/ Fred: Trumpet?
/ Ren: You hear it less often, but trumpetist still works. / Fred: What about the piccolo?
/ Ren: "Piccolist..." Hee! Pickles. / {{Percussionists are real musicians, but drummers aren't. You can tell by the suffix.}} http://oboe-comics.com/2008/09/04/pickles/ |

| Flexible in Pitch and Life | Brian Seaton: And what does this do to the pitch?
/ Graham: It makes it unstable.
/ Brian: Right. But the polite way of saying "unstable" is "flexible." / LATER...
/ Person: So how are you, emotionally...mentally...
/ Heather: I'm flexible. / {{This is thanks to both Brian Seaton and Heather.}} http://oboe-comics.com/2008/09/09/flexible-in-pitch-and-life/ |
| Modal Mixture | Dr. Ferenc: I can't imagine why children such as yourselves would need to move from bVI to vi.
/ Katie O'Hagan and Barbara Bassett: But professor! Modal mixture has been corrupted, and 21st century music is out there waiting for us! / {{This is also why we write parallel octaves and other reprehensible things, for that matter.}} http://oboe-comics.com/2008/09/11/modal-mixture/ |
| Vacuum | Brian Seaton: ...the flute doesn't create a vacuum.
/ Ren: Yes it does. A total absence of awesome. / {{Nature abhors a vacuum. So do oboes.}} http://oboe-comics.com/2008/09/13/vacuum/ |

| Yamaha | Oboist 1: I play a Lorée.
/ Oboist 2: I play a Marigaux.
/ Ren: I play a Yamaha! / Yamaha *shink* / *chunk chunk* / VROOM / {{I think it is neat how Yamaha makes musical instruments and motorbikes. Also: Hasbro totally stole their Transformer technology from the Yamaha oboe.}} http://oboe-comics.com/2008/09/23/yamaha/ |

| Undercutting | Brian Seaton: We undercut tone holes on oboes. / Imaginary Brian Seaton: *doodle doodle* / Brian Seaton: This is because straight-sided tone holes make it sound like you are playing in a closet. / Imaginary Brian Seaton: *tiny doodle doodle* / Brian Seaton: Into an aquarium in a closet. / Imaginary Brian Seaton: *floodle floodle* / Brian Seaton: An aquarium filled with water inside a closet. / Imaginary Brian Seaton: *gurgle gurgle* / Brian Seaton: An aquarium filled with water inside a closet filled with water! / Imaginary Brian Seaton: *glug* / {{Brian Seaton gets carried away sometimes.}} http://oboe-comics.com/2008/09/25/undercutting/ |
| Suction | Dick: I get 10 seconds of suction and I'm happy. Jim is a fanatic about suction. He goes 50 seconds to a minute.
/ Heather: Three days later and he's still there! / {{Picture Jim sitting in a lesson with his tongue suctioned to the oboe head joint. For the whole lesson. That is our life.}} http://oboe-comics.com/2008/09/27/suction/ |
| The Charge | Alex Klein: Bach wrote 6 oboe concertos. They were lost. Shortly thereafter, 6 violin concertos were "found". / Alex: Beethoven wrote an oboe concerto. It was lost. But, lo and behold, there appeared a violin concerto. / Alex: Tchaikovsky wrote an oboe concerto. It, too, was lost. Guess what we have, though? A violin concerto! / Alex: It is time to take back what was lost. It is time to be vindicated! / Alex: It is time to reclaim the oboe's rightful position as king of the instruments! / Alex: It's time for... / REVENGE OF THE OBOE / {{Mozart's oboe concerto was lost, too, appropriated by the flutes.}} http://oboe-comics.com/2008/09/30/the-charge/ |
