Sorry- just spoke to Mr. Ferrillo today, I believe the Delrin liner does come from the top down to the half hole. I mis-wrote, my bad. They are excellent instruments- Linda Strommen, former Met Opera oboist and tenured professor at Indiana University/also Adjunct professor at Juilliard recently tried them during her guest teaching visit to NEC and has ordered one. They have to be speciality ordered from Loree, and range about 8000-8500. Ferrillo is excellent with tuning the instruments very carefully, and then leaves it to John Symer to do some finishing touches for tuning on them. They are very careful to do tuning very incrementally and gradually, as you do not want to make the tone holes too unnecessarily big, which takes away some of that healthy resistance and gatheredness of tone these instruments are so beautifully crafted to have. The copies are exquisitely consistent, and the new AKs are as well. It might be a good time to be on a Loree, and that couldn't necessarily always be said in recent years.
