The Marigaux arrived today!!
It is in beautiful condition, the dealer says it is a 2003 but looking at Marigaux's serial numbers it is approximately 2001. No cracks and looks as though it has hardly been played. Even the original reed case is still inside. The woodgrain is gorgeous. I will be trialling this instrument over the next week. It plays like butter and I love the absolute control I have over low note dynamics.
Mike, you were right, my forked F is barely distinguishable from standard F.
So of course I have been busy playing through my band parts and marking in my L for left. Having said that, we are playing Vaughan-Williams English Folk Song Suite (with the beautiful 2nd mvt oboe solo), and for those that know the work, there isn't too much but forked F happening in the 6/8 section of the 1st mvt! F minor is a great key on flute, but truly horrible on oboe.
I have been enjoying reading this forum as a reference, there is an amazing amount of knowledge and experience out there.
