Hi all,
I am going to be in the market to buy a (used) cor of my own soon. Being in the most isolated city in the world, there will be little if any opportunity to play test anything I buy first, so I was wondering if you guys had any random thoughts about characteristics of certain brands.
I play a Marigaux 901 oboe which I love (with a short scrape reed). I am currently playing a DR series Loree cor, and we don't particularly get along. I played a brand new 930 Marigaux last year (actually two different ones) and they were the most beautiful cors I had ever played, but I don't know how Marigaux rates in terms of their cors.
Other than that, I have also played a new Buffet cor, which impressed me, several Howarths (not a fan) and a Fox 510, which even my professor at UofI was impressed with (very stable).
I may have an opportunity to purchase a Rigoutat cor used here in Oz, but I'm not a fan of the oboes, so a little hesitant to go that way.
Love to hear your thoughts!
Rachel
