Thanks so much to all who have posted and taken the time to listen to the clips and make comments. The kind words of encouragement are also appreciated.
To answer Robin's question, I did not so much as touch an oboe from ~1991 - September 2011. I've been happy about how much my fingers seemed to "remember", but obviously I have much work still to do before I feel like I am really making music that would be presentable in public..
That high-D in the Mozart was truly awful, wasn't it?
Cooper identified the two instruments correctly: # 1 was the "H" series Loree; # 2 was the rosewood Laubin.
I am leaning toward the Loree. The primary remaining concerns I have are the overall sharpness and difficulty making the high register notes sound cleanly. My hope is that these problems are a function of embouchure and reeds that I can fix. On the other hand, there is something really warm and unique about the rosewood Laubin in an oboe world carpeted with Lorees. It also might do a better job covering my deficiencies. It's nice to have two good choices I suppose.
I have a couple of more days to play before I have to decide and will solicit some lay opinions from visiting family as well.
Happy Thanksgiving everybody.
Bill
