Kevin, our second oboe player, Deborah Workman, plays Lorees also and has no
problems playing up to pitch in the low register.

Well, I'm certainly glad to know that somebody who plays second oboe still
believes in these instruments. I have noticed that the NC Symphony's second
player uses a Laubin, Charlotte's second player uses Yamaha, and Jonathan
Blumenfeld and Betty Camus also use Yamaha.

I still wish the Loree's low registers were a little better, that their
forked "f"s were better, and that Philly "d" and forked "f" resonance keys were
standard.

If only we lived in a more perfect world.
