By "base price" I mean the selling price for a grenadilla oboe with silver plated keys. I believe Tom includes all of the following with a "basic" oboe: All grenadilla with PET plastic partial liner in top joint (to just below half-hole), all standard "French Conservatory" key work, including "Philadelphia" high D facilitator, plus optional third octave, forked F & low B-flat resonance.

He charges extra for things like: alternative materials (i.e. synthetic/acrylic, or wood other than grenadilla), extra key work (i.e. left-hand "long" C#), and plating other than silver. This is all based on his own cost differential. For woods softer than grenadilla (like cocobolo or other rosewoods), Tom will line most of the tone holes with ABS to help ensure against crack damage. Most of the cost difference is in the additional man-hours necessary to produce the instrument, not in the material itself.

Tom does not make a student horn. Nor does he "specialize," per se, in exotic woods or gold plate. He has these materials available, and will make your oboe according to your particular needs/requests.
