 Re: What oboe would u like?

In my experience and opinion, having owned several dozen oboes by many different makers over time, is that THE ultimate professional oboe is made by Thomas Hiniker of Rochester, Minnesota.
My favorite oboes otherwise: a Loree "HC" series, a recent "Buck Rogers" model grenadilla Buffet , a Chauvet "BW" series, and a Laubin from 1976.
I have owned a couple Covey oboes (from the late 1980s). Beautiful tone, though neither instrument "locked on" to pitch centers. However, a friend of mine recently bought a Covey oboe vintage 2004- it does "lock onto" the pitch centers. Ethereal oboe- I like it almost as well as the new Hiniker oboes.
I also like the newest Bulgheroni oboes, AND the Adler 6000 model oboe is positively worth a try (an exquisite French style oboe).
Cheers,
C
