Re: Top Ten Best Oboes Of 2025?

I think that poor advice online will always be rife, until parents and purchasers of school instruments start asking for the advice and acting on information from professional players and specialist teachers. There are good Chinese oboes but very few. KGE and Armstrong-Werth are the ones that spring to mind. They are very good and the p[rice is quite reasonable. Whether either of them will make a thumbplate or dual system, a prospective buyer would need to ask the manufacturers. I have a lovely dual system Loree from 1922 that I have been trying to sell at what I think is a reasonable price, and it would do an intermediate player very well indeed, but there has not been a soul interested, in spite of the fact I have advertised it far and wide. Yet people buy those junky instruments.
It is a sad sign of the times, that people disregard any sort of expert and fall for cheap marketing tricks.
