 Re: In search of a smaller sound.

New or old makes no difference. When I bought my Lorée, I didn't have enough skill to know, but after a few years I did. Its trouble with G, F# and E have been consistent - getting neither better nor worse - over the years. I call those notes "the infamous Lorée notes" because every Lorée payer I have (and some were flipping good!) has always complained about them and used special fingerings to compensate.

It's only when I got my 1921 Pan-American marching-band model off e-bay, in horrible but saveable condition, that I was amazed to find out this was not true of all makes.

David Teitelbaum re-bored only the bell. The G is still iffy, but stable reeds fix the problem completely (no special figerings or blowing) -- this had never been possible before. Because my Loree and I have been together for 25 years (the only oboe I've ever owned, though I played on many), I won't "complement" it with any other part, but it still testifies to the power of the bell!
