Hi Oboehotty,

Thanks for your confirmation. I'm really glad to hear you confirm that the Altuglas is so free blowing.

Is is much better than you former oboe? May I ask what brand that was, and if it was an older model or new/modern. I am trying to establish what actually sets the Altuglas apart from other makes/models.

I picked up my Marigaux this afternoon; although it improved a bit by the tuning, it is still less free blowing than the Loree. Good news is that the shopkeeper happens to visit Marigaux in Paris next week, and he will inquire after the Altuglas.
He also suggested that I try a new plastic Loree, and he will also have a secondhand Howarth in a couple of days/weeks.

He also suggested the improved Buffet Greenline, but we heard a lot of awful stories about the Greenlines on the form. Still, he said Buffet have improve on the tennons so they won't break so easily.

I guess I'm in for a bit of a treat :-) I get to try a couple of brands new to me, although he won't be able to get a sample Altuglas. It will be a nice experience.

Thanks,

Joepie
