Subj: [DR-L] fox oboe on ebay
Date: Mon, 12 Jan 2004 11:24:44 -0500

Hi,

I called the seller of this oboe and he says it's a floor model,
"practically new", but will not let me have it out on trial. I suppose
that's bc it's still up for auction, but I'm leery of any instrument I could
not try out and inspect first hand and try it out in different
circumstances. I have a student I'd like to have a Fox oboe, but for them to
shell out over $2K for an oboe and not have a 2nd opinion on it doesn't seem
right to me.

Opinions??

To view the item, go to:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2371371009

I think it will likely sell fast anyway, but I see there have been no bids
on it since it went up.

Miriam
