 Re: Laubin Oboe
Author: hautbois

I live in a difficult climate for oboes -- the mountains near Denver. It is cold and dry in the winter, there is a brief moist period sometime in the spring, and the summers are hot and mostly dry. I owned numerous instruments over the 50 years I played, and every one of them cracked except for my Laubin. I think that the sleeve was the primary part of the crack prevention. But I also think that Laubin has historically (I do not know if there have been any changes) selected their wood with care. In the 1950's, when my teacher took me to Al Laubin's studio near New York City, he told me a story -- which may be myth but may have an element of truth. Laubin did a preliminary cut on the wood for the oboes, left it outside over the winter, and used the pieces which survived the ordeal. The Laubin I played on (and thoroughly appreciated) was made in the 90s. Although I ended my professional career playing on two magnificent Marigaux model 2001 oboes (both of which cracked, but were repaired with no ill effects), I will always love that Laubin.
