OBOE MODELS | historical-oboes

Over the course of 20 years of musical career, I have learned to put my experience as a professional musician to the service of historical oboe making.

I have patiently developed and perfected my instruments, in order to meet the demands of the repertoire and of the musician's profession, while remaining faithful to the spirit and beauty of the original models.

At present I am happy to offer these three models:

-Baroque, after T. Stanesby Sr., pitch 415 Hz

-D'amore, after JH Eichentopf, pitch 415 Hz

-Classical, after M. Rockobaur, pitch 430 Hz

Baroque Oboe after T. Stanesby Sr.
Pitch A=415 Hz
Brass keys, stained or natural boxwood.
Price: 1850 euros

These instruments are proposed with a two-part tube system: the bocal that I make, and the reed mounted on a Chiarugi tube AC153 nr. 3 of 27 mm sold separately.
A one-piece tube can also be used, in this case I recommend the AB model of 55mm long, under the reference Chiarugi AB55.
