Hautboy, (I reference to the oboe post)
Yes Drew is fine. I think it'd be quite happy with a Royal. Maybe I'll add that to the list. I don't know why I have been shying away from Loree. They have good resale value, and I kinda think they are the american standard. There is a multitude available. I guess they will be on the list. I did have the AK bore on my "in my head" list, but I'll add a C and Royal.
I've been all over the oboe boards, so I've read about Hiniker. I think the waiting list is 8 years or something. I don't know if I have that long. I don't even think I'll be able to wait for the oboe convention. In July I hope to be personally recording good sounding oboe. Well, maybe Laubin is the one with 8 years waiting list. Either way, I've heard Laubin is more for orchestral playing. I'm pretty sure they border on dampening the sound a bit. Too expensive anyway. I'm surprised you haven't enjoyed a Marigaux. I think that company is the most extreme. Some people love them, some really loathe them. I think they are most prone to cracking issues and inconsistent craftmanship.
I'm making my own reeds. All the way up to reed #14.  Self taught, but in general I've always had a nack for reeds on the sax and clarinet. Been lucky about that. My work is on the oboe Bboard, but the post was so long, I'm sure people were too busy. I've studied the Lidet and I own the Weber book. I have currently Cudnow Gold E and S, Pisoni Artist, Stevens #1 and #2, Loree AK. I got shaped cane from Forrests, Mack-Pieffer. Albion company.
If I miss you before you go mouthpiece shopping, good luck!
