I hope it's not too late to comment, and I hope as many people reed.... OUPS read.... this as possible.
3 weeks ago I received my Loree from being revoiced by David Teitelbaum, who happens to be the finisher at Laubin, although he has his own enterprise too (Teitelbaum Doublereed Co.). The result was just astonishing!
For the past 3 weeks, every time I play on that Loree, I like it even more. It remains a Loree standard bore with the wide-open top-joint and corresponding tone, but the work he did on the bell bore and the key adjustment just fixed the Loree problems so well!
Plus, he made a big deal about changing the pads and adjusting the keywork. I figured, for the 25th anniversary of it being my instrument, I should just get everything done (we've been through a lot together). WOW! the sensitivity is just amazing (closeness of keys) and really does help playing tremendously. I've played on a good dozen brand new Lorees, and since the repair, mine really surpasses them all.
If the sensitive keywork and dependable tuning is what some of you call "boxed in" feeling of the Laubin, then give it to me! I asked to be put on the list for a new one!
