The Oboe BBoard

Re: Eastman Brand Oboe

Author: ohsuzan  Date:   2012-11-12 21:12 Thanks, guys. I'm not actually in the market for an oboe right now -- except maybe for a really, really, really good professional oboe that would be a touch less problematic than my aging Covey Classic. (Or, maybe I just need to put on my big girl pants and realize that ALL oboes have their problematic moments. When my Covey is good, it is very, very good. But it goes through these . . . spells, or something. I think it has Seasonal Affective Disorder.) At any rate, I just happened across this Eastman oboe yesterday, and gave it a whirl. I thought it would be awful, but it wasn't. Tone and scale was really pretty good, until I hit the upper l.h. issues. And I'd never heard of it before. So I thought I'd ask. How long has Eastman owned Haynes? What was their reputation as a string maker? Susan
