 Re: Who plays an oboe other than Loree?

I play a Rigoutat Evolution. During a blind test of several oboes, it was the one picked as the "right fit for ME". It has allowed me to do some very nice work.
I suggest you set up a panel of friends who know what 'sound' you want, create a checklist,(perhaps a leichter scale where they can rate "tone, pitch, scale, fluidity, singing, low, mid & high registers, etc) and after a blind audition, get their auditory responses and balance those with the checklist responses. If you keep it down to about 3-4 oboes to compare, few people will say "I don't know"...most will have a definite opinion. Also, record it so that YOU can listen, too. You want a standout--one that is head & shoulders above the rest, if possible.

I have a pre-Loree E Horn that is also right for me, but that was just luck.

My Loree is an original LL series, made by Lucien Loree back in 1921. Some folks just like the sound of a Loree better, and even though I feel that the Rigoutat's sound is far better, there is something in that old Loree that can turn some people's heads. Who knew?

Many told me to 'always buy Loree' without hearing/trying anything else. I'm lucky that I took the time to audition oboes--the Rigoutat was the standout for me. The late Mark Weiger told me when advising me on my search: "Play & listen first, then select".

Best of luck with your search!
