Oh I am so sorry it dounded like I said I know what you've been through.

All I know is what it is like not to be able to play, and it sucks. I'm sure it sucks on so many other levels. Didn't mean to imply that at all. Forgive me I have a young tongue. I'm working on it.

I just think that if what you're going for is more freeblowing (Especially given that you already have a couple of really nice Marigaux's) I think Rigoutat is something to look at and they are not that hard to find. Howarth is great, that night be what I upgrade to from my semi-pro. I'm looking at Marigaux and Loree and Rigoutat pro's and Covey as well. Howarth is pretty freeblowing too. If you like other woods, which it would seem you would, their Cocobolo has a super light feel.

I just kindof have the feeling that if I were gonna own 3 oboes, one would be a Rigoutat or MAYBE a Loree (they don't agree with me), one would be a Covey or Howarth, and one would be a Marigaux.

I just don't get why you'd wanna have 3 Marigauxs I guess. They are great but I would want that freedom of chinging characters all the time if I had 3 horns.

Plus my opinion is slanted because I abhor composite and I am not crazy about Altuglass/Acrylic either. Of course, with someone like Marigaux or Rigoutat they are gonna do it WELL (As opposed to the greenline, which is a nightmare of Epic proportions), but I think wood instruments should be wood. They just sound less like an oboe when they aren't.

I really hope this helps. I am really happy for you.
