Oh right - it's made by Mollenhauer, I assumed you knew the owner personally and he made it specially for you!

I'd imagine the chimneys are either plastic or ebonite, or maybe even grenadilla or ebony.

Pretty large family of instrument makers are the Mollenhauers - I have an old wooden flute by J. Mollenhauer of Fulda, and the Gustav Mollenhauer contrabassoons are regarded as being up there with the best on the market.

Here's a link to a Viennese-style oboe that I was watching (the bidding HAS finished on this): http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ih=018&item=280026405758&rd=1&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWA%3AIT&rd=1

And some that Guntram Wolf makes: http://www.guntramwolf.de/instruments/modern/oboe/index_oboe_mod_e.htm
