Subj: [DR-L] Looking for Info about my Oboe
Date: Mon, 16 Jun 2003 01:16:49 -0400

I have an Oboe I want to sell but can't find enough info on it. I
especially need an appraisal or something with a dollar amount on it.
If you can help or know where I can get help I would really appreciate
it!!!

I have a 1928 Romeo Orsi (Open Hole/Key ?) Oboe
It has had a complete overhaul and is ready for a master!

I used to play bassoon so my limited knowledge isn't helping me.
My Oboe playing peers at college were all VERY impressed with the
instrument.
I got my hopes up seeing as how they had never seen one so different,
unusual, I'm not really sure what it is about it... there were just a lot
of "wow" and "this is cool" comments!
I just don't have enough information to get this sold and at a good but
fair price.
I am sure you all are set as far as having what you need but a point in a
good direction would be so very helpful.
Thanks!
Chelsea
