Dear Mr. Patalowski,
I appreciate the fact that this case has caught your personal attention, and I thank you for your openness and concern. The serial number of the instrument in the photographs was 35157. I'm sure that, given the serial number, you can see in your files that the situation was indeed known to Marigaux. As I wrote in my original post, I received a refund for the oboe.
I would like to take this opportunity to hear directly from you what the official waiting time for a new upper joint is, and what steps are generally taken to help a professional player during that waiting time and during the ensuing break-in process for the new joint. Are players who suffer irreparable cracks provided with a selection of replacement joints from which to choose? Perhaps I was misinformed, but my understanding is that the player must accept the new joint regardless of its interplay with the rest of the instrument. I welcome your corrections on this matter as well as any opportunity to change my opinion of Marigaux' policies. I wonder, as well, if you might be willing to share with us the approximate number of replacement joints Marigaux provided for irreparably cracked instruments in 2010.
I hope that this correspondence will be of use to others who are reading it; more than anything, I hope that I am the only one of your clients who has lost a year of professional life due to the behavior of a Marigaux oboe (a behavior which no one could have understood without seeing the inside of the bore). If I am indeed alone in having suffered so, I would gladly take back my words about Marigaux' wood: I don't speak lightly about such things. I still fail to understand, though, how an oboe resembling the one pictured in my previous post could have come from your renowned workshops; I do hope that you can enlighten me.
Respectfully yours,
Amari Barash
