Re: Kohlert Sons oboe

Thank you, that is very helpful!

I have been experimenting with this oboe, it is certainly from another (earlier) time, it has such an easy response and a rather dark tone compared to my modern oboe, and the fingering system is different (indeed, the entire oboe is shorter in length by almost 2" from my modern oboe, and the blowholes are situated completely differently than a modern oboe.)

I've come to the conclusion that it is a Kohlerts & Sons somewhere pre-1938, and I'm still flabbergasted that is has cleaned up so well with no cracks and is still so playable.

Definitely a keeper.
Thanks again!
