Hello,
I am new here and love the oboe instruments. My love for the double reed sounds started with the music in The Jungle Book when I was a young kid but never had the money or resources to get an oboe. As a long time self taught Drummer, guitar, bassist, I finally got the chance a few years ago to get an oboe and E horn so I could start learning. As well I have always been a craftsman making a few guitars of my own and I now make english horns for my self from various exotic woods and at times I make replacement bells for people who are missing theirs or wanted an EH style bell for their oboe.
I was curious to see if anyone here might be able to provide me with dimensions from a Bass Oboe so I can begin creation of one for myself. Any thing will help as these will really just be reference. I know I'll end up making it different from the Loree but anything to get me started in the right direction would be a big help. Mainly the over all length of the instrument as well as the bore diameters from the top of the upper joint and at the bottom of the lower joint would be great. Thanks in advance!
Mike
