 The Oboe BBoard

Dear oboe players,
I have been coming and reading the various posts on Oboe bboard from time to time. It has always been interesting for me to read all the various questions and answers, some of the writers being an incredible source about instruments, such as 'Chris P'.
Reading this post, being not an expert on Internet, I have wondered if I had to reply or at least give my comments on some of the various informations given. Then, I thought it would be necessary to bring to your attention the following points :
1/ Marigaux sells throughout the world hundreds and hundreds of oboes per year, all mounted and finished by hand, some played by prestigious orchestras in the world. We can proudly say that our instruments bring satisfaction to the ones who choose them and when sometimes it is not the case, we always try in our workshop in Paris or with the help of the local dealer to find a solution to please the musician. Always. This is our duty and I would think that all the people who have come to visit us would agree on this.
2/ Marigaux is not using "poor quality wood that has not been aged properly" and I wonder on what ground this kind of sentence can be written. We dry our wood ourselves, with absolutely no artifical methods, the only product we use to do this is time, for at least 4 years. The wood we select come from the finest forests in Mozambique, with the same suppliers for decades, and it is storaged in a specific locked room in our factory in Normandy where only specific employees go ; all of this because we highly regard the wood as our primary raw material. Please note that Marigaux would never dare to use low quality wood and I would be personally happy to invite Mr or Ms. Pliscapoivre to visit our set-up in Paris or in Normandy to see this with his or her own eyes.
3/ The pictures showed from Mr or Ms. Pliscapoivre do not reflect the quality of the instruments which leave our company. As an oboe maker, it would have been useful for us to receive these pictures before seeing them on Oboe Bboard, with informations such as the serial number and the history of the oboe since it left our workshop, for instance. However, I confirm that what is seen here is unacceptable and should we have been aware of this either from the musician or from the dealer (and I wonder why we have not), we would have changed the joint immediately and make, again, the necessary steps to make the musician satisfied.
I hope that answers to some of the questions that this post may have created.
With best regards,
