So, I am looking to maybe upgrade my Rigoutat RIEC model oboe, just because it doesn't have every single trick on it like a pro model, and I am looking into what makers to think about.

I am obviously very fond of Rigoutat, it is by and large the best oboe I have played on. My Covey was very good, but not for me. And it was old. But I get to try out four, so why not give a few other makers a shot too?

I am definitely gonna try a Rigoutat J.

Now as for others, I am kinda open to ideas. I've heard Marigauxs are really good, really forgiving horns. I heard rave things about Bulgerhoni oboes but I've never played one. I have heard crazy good stories about the New Yamaha, and I almost wanted to laugh (because I know at least half of us have squaked on a Yamaha plastic oboe at least once) but a lot of pros like the new custom models and they are inexpensive. I have heard mixed things about Patricola and Josef, but very very mixed, some calling them amazing and some calling them a mess.

NO LOREE (If one appeals to me I will look at it, but I am looking for a fresh idea)

American Oboist. I currently play on a Rigoutat Riec. She is beautiful.
