 The Oboe BBoard

Have a look at the Covey oboes being made nowadays by Ginger Ramsey, especially the oboe she makes of Honduran Rosewood. About $6000 or so. A sumptuous instrument in every respect.
Also, the Marigaux "Altuglas" (clear Acrylic) oboe, though amazingly (!) expensive, is an instrument of astonishing qualty.
And the top of the line Fossati oboes made AFTER mid-2008 will be worth a look as well. Fossati management has changed- now the firm is owned by oboists, and the new design oboe is super.
The Howarth S5 and S5 XL should likely also be in sight.
The Bulgheroni "Opera model" oboe, especially in Violetwood, is easily the equal of all the oboes I have listed above.
I play a new Hiniker oboe in Snakewood- my assessment is that this is the single most remarkable oboe I have ever played in 40+ years of "oboing." However, the Hiniker wait list is still about 5 years and growing longer at "warp speed." Used Hiniker oboes rarely come up for sale, and command almost the same price as new. They tend to sell immediately.
With best wishes,
Peter
