The ones I've worked on have had dreadful tuning problems, though they are well built.

But they did have a special mechanism for the D#-E (or Eb-Fb) trill which does away with the split plate for RH 3 found on full Gillet conservatoire system oboes. Raising RH finger 3 automatically closes off the Eb pad (provided the D#/Eb taken with the LH Eb key) through a linkage under the kidney keys.
