Re: what oboes do you guys play on?

Author: AMac  Date:   2003-10-23 07:12 Hey all.. I play on a 20 month old Lorée AK Bore Oboe.. with 3rd Octave key, that I paid about $7200 CDN for.. and it has had so many problems. I'm very dissappointed in the experience I've had playing Lorée's. They're apparently supposed to be the best (well.. according to a lot of people anyways) but I'll probably never play on another one again. My teacher plays on Yamaha's along with the majority of the oboe studio at the university I go to (there are around 12 of us.. about 8 play Yamaha oboes) and I'm currently in the process of trying different oboes out. My teacher brought in about 4 or 5 to play test and see which one I'd like to buy.. I think I've found my dream instrument! I find that the Yamaha's are made to a consistant standard, and that the they're all very responsive, and sound amazing. So I'm quite excited. I've also played on Selmer, and Buffet Oboes. the BC4052 Intermediate oboe was quite enjoyable to play when I had it. Oh, and GMac, you sounded really good on those Yamaha's that we were trying out today It's fun getting a new "toy" eh? When looking for an Oboe.. try as many as you can. Get other people's opinion about how you sound, and be careful that you pick an oboe that suits you, I thought I did that... it was the biggest mistake I've ever made.. I am being more careful this time around!
