I've had my Loree (AK bore) for 2.5 yrs now, and think I'm just getting the
sound I want out of it. Maybe it was all those yrs playing on a clunker
(sigh). I didn't know what I was missing; unfortunately, the delay was bc of
finances.
I"m glad to have a nice oboe! Very interesting commentary, though, from
those who have the luxury of owning a variety, or at least being able to
play a variety in trials.
