Re: older oboes

The LH F key seemed to be fitted as standard since the '80s and was sporadic before that - for some reason it wasn't always fitted to every otherwise full Gillet conservatoire system oboe before then.

So often I see older full Gillet conservatoire Howarth S5s, Lorees, Marigauxes (sp?) and other big names on eBay without the LH F key which is a shame, but it can always be fitted.

Similarly with the 3rd 8ve key - not every pro level oboe had them fitted as standard until more recently.
