Hello, has anyone had any experiences with a Triebert brand oboe? specifically the Brook Mays model like

Good, bad, ugly opinions? Any insight on the quality of this instrument would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you!

I'm outraged at the thought of this. The Triébert family were responsible for designing the modern oboe, and to have their name unashamedly stamped on a cheap piece of Chinese crap is by far the biggest insult.
You know that distant and low rumbling noise you can hear right now as you're reading this? That's the Triébert family turning in their graves.
Wonder when there'll be Chinese saxes engraved 'Adolphe Sax' and flutes engraved 'Theobald Boehm' on the market? Mind you, it's probably going on right now.

I completely agree with Chris P.
It is a travesty to name a "nothing" instrument after Triebert.
I have a set of [real, not the later Couesnon "Triebert"] Triebert ring system oboe and English horn from circa 1920.
Both absolutely sensational players. Voicing sublime. Both "Buck Rogers" model instruments.
The oboe has left F, left C#, 3rd octave, F resonance, Ab-Bb trill, low articulated
C#, and Bleuzet system for D#-E trill. The English horn has the same key-work, less left C# and 3rd octave. The design and engineering of the key-work is
first class. I would love to find a Triebert oboe d'amore or bass oboe (?) from the same era...
The only Chinese made instrument that may (?) be worth a hoot-
-"Barrington," a copy of the Cabart 74- plays "OK" (sort of), though the key-work is deplorable (bends if you look at it cross-eyed), and the padding is horrific.

To open old wounds, I am at the Midwest Clinic at the moment. There is a supplier here who has the new 'Triebert' oboes on display. Pretty sure you could hear my heart fall out onto the floor. Hopefully the pictures will attach.

Attaching pictures from a computer now...
They were being distributed by a company called Universal Melody Distribution. They looked just like the clarinets that come off eBay - brushed powdery plastic (i.e. awful). I couldn't bring myself to play one.
It makes me sad. :(
