 Re: what is so great about royale loree oboes

I think there is myth about the Loree...of course it is what Tabuteau played, and what most of his descendants swear by. However, I firmly believe that Loree's were just the first ones to "get it right" in terms of the newer conservatoire-style oboe.
In fact, there are even characteristics in a Loree that I find *un*desirable. The low G, for example, is always impossibly sharp, and the reeds have to be scraped for it. Same with the top-line F - always wobbly. But the clarity and ease of response of the lorees is something that puts them above others.

It could be the fact that they are french oboes, made and tested in a country where the pitch is usually higher (a442-44), and short-scraped reeds are used...and then us long-scrapers come and try to use them, and play them at 440. So it could be that in France, on a short scrape french reed, and playing at 442 and up, the Loree is perfect. However, with the trend of the "American" sound moving away from the thinner, brighter violin-like "French" sound towards a more rounded, vocal-like sound, the Loree isn't the only option. There are many oboes to do the job.
