I have found that any of the oboes made by Hans Kreul (Hans Kreul, Kreul/Mirafone, Kreul/Gordet, Kreul/Lucerne, TAM, ENEG, and many other "stencil" brands made by Kreul) to be exceedingly "forgiving" with respect to reeds.
Please know two different models of Hans Kreul oboe exist:
1) The "heavy weight pattern" Likely the heaviest oboe ever made, and also likely the "darkest" sounding oboe ever made
2) The "standard weight pattern" Still a "dark" sounding oboe, though not as "dark" as the "heavy weight pattern." This oboe does have an element
(a "glimmer") of "bright" to the sound. This model has all of the "core," "depth,"
"complexity," and "warmth" I would expect to hear in a BI-BP series Loree oboe.
The "standard weight pattern" Kreul is one of my all time favorite oboes.
The key-work on any of the Kreul oboes is made of the toughest alloy I have ever come across. Pretty much indestructible, unless dropped off a high building...
With best wishes,
