Robin,
I tried as many oboes as possible, but not everything there because I could not tear myself away from the recitals, lectures, master classes and concerts long enough.
The exhibits were in a very nice hotel conference area, but 15 minutes walk from the music school where the playing took place. Shuttles ran pretty often, but trying to do much in a hour really only left 25-30 minutes given commute times.
I tried new: Howarth oboes and ehorns, Covey oboes,Loree models, Yahama oboes, Marigaux oboes and ehorns, even a clear 'glass' Marigaux oboe. And I tried Fossatti oboes from student through pro models. I tried the Armstrong Ward oboes, too; student, intermediate and pro models.
I went with a video camera hoping to record but the room was a beehive and the noise level was too high. While there were some areas I could have worked in away from the big room, I did not take the time.
Still, I have some impressions to share and will, over the next few days, say one instrument maker at a time.
I was impressed by how many makers are including the Philly high D key. Funny, the Lorees I tried did not have that.
Frank led me to the Chudnow booth for a reunion with one of Dick White's Laubin ehorns with a low b-flat. I am pretty sure I'd played that at Dick's home while studying with him many years ago. Used price , a whopping big $ number!
I could by a new oboe and ehorn for the asking price. So, that instrument is not in my future...:)
