 The Oboe BBoard

I recently sold an exquisite older Loree oboe (KK series, made circa 1918) to my oboe professor friend. She loves this oboe. No cracks, has all the professional model key-work (except no F resonance mechanism- many of the pre-war Loree oboes play fork F just fine due to the bore design). Bore looks as though it were made yesterday, and the bore is straight as can be. This 1918 oboe has lifetimes of music left to play. And it has an "ethereal" sound not to be found in (say) post I series Loree oboes.
I love C series Loree oboes, though my favorite is B series.
I surmise that if Loree were to make a faithful copy of a mid B series oboe now,
they would likely sell out.
Please know- anyone who may have any questions about older Loree oboes should feel free to contact me.
With very best wishes,
Peter Hurd
