Prolific maker from the early 20th century to 1974 when bought out by Loree. Instruments are inconsistent maker. Ring system oboes by Cabart from the 1920s through 1940s are quire good, as are plateau models from 1960s- to mid 1970s. The keywork is not especially well crafted, though adequate.

Not that I am aware of...but I've never looked.
For future reference, a great site for looking up makers is oboes.us....run by Peter Hurd. The opinions are purely his own, and it is still a great resource for research on potential instruments.

Thanks but I am not a professional - and you need to be a professional to purchase from them.
