 Re: Odd baritone/bass the key of Eb by Cabart

Take as many measurements from it as you can! An Eb cor anglais can be a very useful bit of kit when it comes to playing military band transcriptions that are usually in keys from four to seven flats that have been shunted up a semitone from otherwise comfortable original orchestral keys. Plus the long and short of it is the fact I'm far more adept to sax fingerings over dual/conservatoire system fingerings.

I can't see why sax fingered oboes like this aren't more accepted in the oboe community as so many are very quick to dismiss them in favour of a key system that has evolved and became more complex over time instead of one that was invented by Theobald Boehm that was a complete and radical departure.
