 Re: BULGHERONI OBOES, A QUESTION?

Although some American repairmen and oboists are critical of this brand, I have found that for the price, $1800, their simplest student oboe is an excellent buy. Many cannot afford the nearly $3000 needed to buy even a Cabart or Fox. The student Bulgheroni is grenadilla has side F and nearly all other keys. It is very easy blowing and has a lovely warm sound. The keywork seems to suit younger students with small hands. I have had five students buy them over the past eight years . Only one cracked and it was under the 1 year guarantee and successfully repaired. The student admitted to leaving it in a very cold school locker. The instruments have required very little adjustments over time. Criticisms might include fairly soft keywork and perhaps less projection than a Loree or Laubin. However they are about $5000 less in price...They have a good reputation in Europe .
I have had trouble locating a dealer since Woodwind/Brasswind changed hands. They still carry them at very low price but the last one bought a few months ago was not in perfect adjustment when delivered after a 2 month wait. I had to put in a couple tiny spacer corks and twiddle a couple screws and it plays fine now. Still a bargain for the price. I warn parents that resale may be low becasuse they are not well-known here. So far no student has wanted to resell and is very happy with their student Bulgheroni.
