I have had a Larilee oboe since Fall of 1968 and it's still a wonderful instrument. One of the other posters alluded to contacting the company and getting such a wonderful response from them - I've had the exact same thing happen. The company is in the family and thus they care about it and the oboes they make.
That oboe went through Jr. High, Sr. High, college and beyond and has traveled all over the U.S. with me and is still in very good shape, other than needing a couple of pads replaced.
I recommend Larilee oboes to anyone who has a need for an oboe. If considering an older one I wouldn't hesitate to buy it if you can tell it's been well cared for by the owner. Sometimes the older instruments just sound better too - maybe it's the change in the instrument as it's used - seems to be mellower. Or maybe it's just that I got to be a better oboe player the longer I played it! :-)
