Hi Hautbois Francais!

The older Loree I have needs the middle finger down to get the pitch of the high D down while the new Loree and the Laubin do not need the middle right finger down. Thus, to simplify it, I have the habit of always putting the middle right finger down regardless of the instrument.

As I recall, Paul Laubin said that he used a Nagamatsu shaper but I forgot the size.

In Los Angeles, the oboe players are expected to play an A 440 for tuning as many orchestras try to play at A 440. The LA Philharmonic says that they tune to A 442 but I was reasonably sure some of the oboes used were Lorees tuned to A440.

I have a difficult or impossible task if I try to make A 442 reeds although an unstable reed can be played higher. My oboes were all made for A 440 and with a free blowing stable reed, that is what they want to play. One orchestra at USC I played in requested an A 442 which I gave them using my tuner and, despite the conductor, the orchestra was closer to A 440 generally, I believe, because that is where most of the players usually tuned.

Your name indicates you may be in France but I see no indication of the pitch level you try to play and tune to. I don't believe that Laubin would supply an oboe higher in pitch than A440. Good Luck!!!!
