 Re: Albrecht Meyer's new oboe

I have really enjoyed this thread, because I love Albrect Meyer's playing and enjoy hearing it discussed from a primarily European perspective.

The discussion about the key work on his new oboe caused me to reflect on my first 'good' oboe, which my teacher acquired for me when I was in high school in the late 1950's.

It was made for the Principal Oboe of the newly formed San Francisco Symphony, Ceasere Addimando, about 1915: Lorée GG38.

It had rollers between the low C, C# and Eb (like Meyers). It had a left hand F AND a left hand C#. It also had a roller on the right hand F key.

The right hand thumb support was raised on a block, and under the block on the outside was thumb, low C# key.

It had a Barret thumb plate and an octave mechanism I have never seen since: though basically an automatic octave, it had a left hand key in the usual place which would override the auto system so you could play the right hand fifth harmonics.

I had no idea at the time what a gem it was and later sold it to buy a (then more fashionable) Rigoutat. I sure wish I'd kept it and sold a few more papers to buy the new horn...
