Very interesting video.

I thought that what Mayer said about his goal for the instrument was totally on point as far as many brands having a specific character that the player must abide by and even "worship". This couldn't be more true with almost all the popular oboes in the American market (Loree, Laubin, Covey, Yamaha, Howarth.)

I think there are other instruments that offer this "blank canvas" approach, but of course this is a video about Moennig, so he isn't about to mention them. Marigaux's standard models and both Buffet greenline models (especially the new Orfeo) come to mind. All of these (including the Moennig) seem ultra-modern compared to Lorees and the Loree derivatives in their approach sound and scale.
