To practice beforehand would ruin the fun!

You didn't offer 'in a sound-proof practice room' as an option.

Of course if the gentleman is very good with the oboe, exceptions can be made.

because someone's got to

A gentleman is someone who knows how to play the oboe – but doesn't. :-)

Are oboes loud enough to be heard next door? I wouldn't practice my cornet after about 9 on a weekday or 10 at the weekend (earlier if neighbours had children). And not before 10 at the weekend or 9 during the week.

You leave out early afternoon at weekends, which I would have preferred over any of those.

Also, you're near the Histon Rec, aren't you? You could probably be inaudible from a distance in the middle of that.

I am really surprised that people think that it would be ungentlemanly to practice at any of the times listed. After 10:30pm would be pushing it. Before 7am would be pushing it. Other than that, unless you know you have thin walls, not even close to being inconsiderate.

Am I really out of line on this one?

That's no oboe, that's my fife!
