The few Selmer Paris oboes I've tried were horrendous - poor tuning and weak, thin tone, but the keywork was well made. I doubt they were used by pro players as there are better oboes out there made by oboe specialists. Loree is the most popular make of oboe among US players.

Have you got a link to the video you saw? There are some small firms making pro instruments but they usually have a long waiting list. Laubin and Hiniker are two such makers.

The plastic Selmer USA (Signet Soloist 104) oboe I've got plays far better than any Selmer Paris I've played.

The opinions I express are my own.
