JRC,

I am so sorry you had a poor experience with Rigoutat.

My experience with Marigaux was the exact opposite~! I had some tuning problems with my 901 and I considered selling the Oboe. However, I was fortunate to have contacted Renaud Patalowski President of Marigaux on Facebook.

I explained my problem to him and we entered into a good and very friendly conversation. He suggested two fixes for me and thought there might be a problem with the bore. He offered to fix the oboe at no charge at the IDRS conference last year in NYC. At the conference the oboe's problem was pretty much resolved even without his reamers. He then offered to finish the work in Paris for no charge .. just to send him the oboe. He provided very good directions to how to ship the oboe and what to say on the shipping package. I received the Oboe back within 10 days ... beautifully fixed, adjusted, and even recorked~! What a company.

By the way Mr. Patalowski is also a really nice guy to hang out with.....having such an opportunity at the IDRS conference.

Mark
