Hello, everyone!

I am trying to identify the brand of my wooden oboe. I bought it at an estate sale over 10 years ago. The serial number is C1190. There's no brand on the instrument or the case. Any help is definitely appreciated. Thanks!

It looks a lot like a Selmer (USA) 122F but has the side G#-A trill key instead of the LH Ab-Bb trill mechanism. Definitely an American made oboe.

The opinions I express are my own.
