We are the production company who Filmed and Edited this video. We also made the 1990 Reed Makers DVD by David Weber and Fred Capps. I am including a copy free with this set, it's a 2 hour video with 60 mins on Oboe Reed making, and the other 60 for English Horn.
This demo below shows the overall content. This is a revised youtube, that I said I'd redo when I could, and I did.

This video series was filmed using Broadcast Quality TV studio equipment, and is quite viewable even though it was filmed in 350 x 240 picture size. It is not HD which is the common TV today, it's not widescreen, and it's certainly not 4K. It was filmed in 1998, when broadcast TV was less in quality than a DVD. TV in the 1990's was 350 x 240, Digital Video of the early 2000's was 640/720 x 480 [double the resolution], HD most common today is 1920 x 1080 more than double the resolution of Digital, and 4K the latest TV is double that.
However the DVDs look a lot pretty good on a TV. My company did more than 3000 videos using the same equipment for 3M, CRAY Supercomputers, and many others. I find the best viewing experience is from a DVD player or Blueray player that upsizes DVDs to HD size. I have a Panasonic player that does this, and the JDL video looks pretty good. I just wanted folks to know this was NOT shot in HD because that was not possible in 1998.

A note from Videographer Editor Jon Hyers:
I am aware that John de Lancie is one famous Oboe Player, this production of mine is a unique ONE-OF-A-Kind item. It's not likely to be redone in Digital Form [aka USB Drive Digital Files], and at this time is DVD only. In his lecture on PITCH, John de Lancie referred to the Oboe Players as being "THE KEEPER OF THE RINGS", with a Lord of the Rings reference to the Hobbits caring for The RING. I am the Keeper of the Video. That means when I go, it will not be available. I am entering my 5th decade in video!!! This DVD set is the only record of this moment of history. Get it while you still can, it's that rare.....

My personal experience working there, getting a chance to eat a few dinners with John de Lancie was PRICELESS. One of my few personal experiences filming/working with a person from History. A real treat. We even discussed his famous son John De Lancie from the Star Trek fame.
Note that this was filmed in analog video, not Digital Video, not HD, and certainly not 4K. Images are softer than the TV you see today, but are enjoyable if you bear this in mind. It was produced in broadcast equipment of the day, and is thee most recent video record of Mr. Delancie, and his such training course in his lifetime, making this a real collection. If I had a time-machine, my first trip would be to refilm this session in 4K, but that is not possible.
Our filming days were around 12 hours long, two sessions on 5 days, and one session/lecture on a 6th day.
