The most important question to ask an oboist

Okay, not really.

But what is your favorite string color to use when making reeds?

I have this really nice neon pink and also a hunter green that

I've become quite fond of recently.

Red screams lame and crappy. Hunter green (like a camo-green as in my avatar) is actually a colour I like a lot. It complements the tone of the cane very well I think. Not that I make my own reeds... or play oboe, but I semi-play bassoon, and have lots of bassoony friends.

I've never been able to use red string. It reminds me of those god-awful Jones reeds that you play on when you're a beginner.

Exactly.
