I would. I try other brands of instruments of frequently as humanly
possible. To imply that I play on Loree oboes for reasons other than that I
think they're the best oboes is ridiculous. Rigoutat happens to be a
"big-name" brand instrument, like some of the others you mentioned, Howarth,
Marigaux.
I play on Loree oboes because they are the best oboes in the world.
