Well its funny you should mention the Monnig Albrecht Mayer Model cause it is exactly what I decided on. The 920 and the Monnig 150 A were very good both of them but the engineering and extras on the Mayer Oboe was too good to pass up. It has a sweet sound though not as dark as the laubin. I love the Marigaux sound and I now also love the Monnig sound. Its alive, vibrant and very stable. The mayer has a very very nice lyric quality. I frankly don't like stodgy sound I like an alive vibrating, singing quality. The Marigauxs have this and I find the Monnigs have it too. I could have gone with either horn both were very fine and reed friendly. I think I will visit my friend the Martigaux again they are very nice, such a wonderful blending tone. I would have bought both if I could have afforded them both but there is always next time

I played Loree's for 20 years but they were never as fine a sound as I have seen with the Marigaux's and the Monnig. I tried the Howarth XL's (4)and the keywork was good. Overall the XL's were good but they were very heavy and I did not think they had the SING in the high register I was looking for with my reed set.
