Talk:Oboe d'amore

It looks like there is speculation at the end of the section on cost, about used ones surfacing without much wear and without much reduction in cost compared to a new one. It's a colorful detail, but what is its source? 69.206.141.250 (talk) 17:38, 28 November 2019 (UTC)
 * Excellent point. I have tagged the offending paragraph with a "citation needed" template. If in future you come across similar things, feel free to add this template yourself.—Jerome Kohl (talk) 23:42, 28 November 2019 (UTC)

Range in terms of vocal nomenclature
This article cites that the cor anglais is the tenor, whereas the d'amore is the alto. The cor anglais page cites that the d'amore is the mezzo, whereas the cor is the alto. Both cite the same source. "Theoretically the oboe d'amore and the cor anglais might be said to be the alto and tenor oboes respectively (the original tenor of the family was called the taille, a term to be found in Purcell scores), but the oboe d'amore has remained something of a stranger in the orchestra, the cor anglais having supplanted it as the regular alto member of the family." I think it does make sense to call the cor the alto, since its range corresponds to the alto flute and the alto saxophone. EddieTheOboist (talk) 14:49, 12 November 2020 (UTC)
