I completely agree with Chris P.
It is a travesty to name a "nothing" instrument after Triebert.
I have a set of [real, not the later Couesnon "Triebert"] Triebert ring system oboe and English horn from circa 1920.
Both absolutely sensational players. Voicing sublime. Both "Buck Rogers" model instruments.
The oboe has left F, left C#, 3rd octave, F resonance, Ab-Bb trill, low articulated
C#, and Bleuzet system for D#-E trill. The English horn has the same key-work, less left C# and 3rd octave. The design and engineering of the key-work is
first class. I would love to find a Triebert oboe d'amore or bass oboe (?) from the same era...
The only Chinese made instrument that may (?) be worth a hoot-
-"Barrington," a copy of the Cabart 74- plays "OK" (sort of), though the key-work is deplorable (bends if you look at it cross-eyed), and the padding is horrific.
