Contact Von Huene, Sand Dalton and Monk Workshops to see if they can send instruments to you on approval.

The problem with Baroque oboe reeds is they're not always a standard fit and some come with a staple that fits in the instrument then another shorter staple the reed is mounted on goes over that (like a d'amore/cor reed). You can wind more thread around the staple if it isn't a good fit in the top of the oboe which hasn't got a parallel sided reed socket as we know, but a reverse taper at the top of the bore into which the reed is fitted.

I've got a boxwood Dirk Kloeffer and also an artificial ivory Roessler baroque oboe, but the Roessler requires the double staple affair as the reed well is so wide. For a while I was playing my Baroque d'amore along with the side drummer but it wasn't loud enough to be heard over a distance and also tiring to play for long periods, so I switched to a 6-key Eb piccolo to cut through better.
