Dutchy, my oboe teacher still plays on the same Marigaux oboe she's had from new back in 1974. She bought it from Anthony Camden while visiting the UK, then returned to the US with it and then later moved back to the UK to study which is where she has lived ever since.
The top joint split completely down both sides while she went back to the US not long after she bought it (the climate in northern Minnesota isn't exactly oboe-friendly), it was pinned and has never opened up since. Not long after that she moved to the UK again, this time to study at music college and worked as a freelance player in London, raised a family and is still playing the same oboe some 35 years or so later, still with the original split and pinned top joint.
