As you can tell from previous posts on the subject, I absolutely LOVE Fossati oboes and English horns. Until I played this Patricola, I was preparing to drop a ridiculous amount of money on a cocobolo Fossati with gold/mother of pearl keys, because (again, until I played this particular Patricola) the Fossati oboes have been the only oboes I've played that have worked perfectly with me to create the sort of dark, creamy sound that I really like in the oboe, and they respond like a Ferrari...it's instant, and they will do whatever you want, whenever you want.


I also love their mechanisms (which I find very similar, nay, improved(!) on the Patricola), and I think the styling of them is absolutely gorgeous. (If you reeeeally look at a Fossati, I mean REALLY look at it, it looks like no other oboe. There is a sort of almost art deco grace to the outer curve of the bell, and the way the key linkages swoop into one another...). They also use absolutely beautiful wood.

While I am completely smitten with my new Patricola, I will steadfastly maintain that if you are looking for a new oboe, you MUST put Fossati on your list of things to try, preferably near the top.


(God, Gerard should start sending me checks in the mail!)
