I haven't always been a huge WW&BW fan, but this time they actually shipped it very quickly, and it was in beautiful condition. (And I'm really impressed that they even HAD it...)
This is the last oboe I plan on buying for a very, very long time...I am breaking it in gently, but I talked to the Patricola brothers about it, and they were very reassuring in their assertion that they naturally age the wood for a considerable amount of time, and they have a very, very low rate of reported cracking, which is a huge relief; I was TERRIFIED about the cracking thing when I was contemplating getting an exotic wood horn.
(Although...my clarinet is Honduran rosewood, and I play the HELL out of it, and I've never had a problem with it...)
