I played on a larilee oboe when I was in college in 1965-67. The school instrument was a great playing instrument.
site www.wwbw.com (woodwind brasswind company) has larilee still for sale. Model 400W sells for $1995USA, Model 210W sells for $1499USA and model 125W sells for $945.
Model 400W the top of the line instrument has
full concervatory, Eb-E,G#-A,Ab-Bb, low B-C# trills, auxiliary C key, left hand F key, forked F resonance, low Bb resonance key on bell, 3d octave key, grenadilla wood.
Company is a USA company---"small family business where three generations of craftsmen have been making the finest oboe for the student and professional since 1942."
my guess is the instrument was made about the time of the instrument I played on---mid 1960s
