Oboe Support Reviews

“In other disciplines it is very common to use new technologies to improve results. In sports we see how new suits for swimming, running shoes or rackets are manufactured for this purpose. In the world of music it seems that we are a bit late but we are starting to use different tools that make our lives easier.
I started working very closely with Jouko looking for something that would really hold the instrument and, after a year, we found a device that not only works in that way but also allows me to have a more relaxed and flexible sound. I think one of the best innovations is adding the second spring on the penguin part. Thanks to it, you have freedom of movement, forgetting that something is holding your instrument.”

“This is an excellent system, it takes the weight off from hands and fingers. This is important for the shoulders and neck area. So far I have not had any bad problems from the weight but this is a good way to prevent them to happen.
This makes playing much freer than with other supports like the neck strap. This gives more room for movements.”
