Re: D'amore reeds

Looking at the current Marigaux d'amore http://www.marigaux.com/english/?marigaux=instruments/ and an earlier model (in Anthony Baines' book) there have only been some minor differences over the 40-50 years between them.

I'd suspect they won't sound altogether too different from one another in as much as one oboe will sound slightly different to an identical model when compared side by side, but that's only speculation.

What is interesting is that this d'amore has the original Marigaux case, but the name inside the case lid reads:

W.Lohff - U.Henze
P.Herren
DÜSSELDORF

Former oboe finisher
Howarth of London
1998 - 2010
The opinions I express are my own.
