Professional Loree Oboe - Full Conservatory No Reserve:
$2025.00

Up for sale is this professional F. Loree oboe. It is full conservatory, including the low Bb resonance key. Grenadilla wood body, silver keys, etc... The woodgrain in the instrument is beautiful and very tight. It has a GX serial number which places it at approximately 1985.
I purchased the instrument in 2009 and am the second owner. The original owner purchased it in the early 1990s as an oboe performance major. She ended up changing her major and the oboe sat for about 15 years until I purchased it. Since I purchased the instrument in 2009 it has not been played, however I have oiled it once a year.
Overall it is in good condition, but because it has been sitting for so long it will need to have an overhaul, and have the mechanism regulated etc (it is currently slow moving and stiff)... There is a small hairline crack about 1/4\" long on top of the middle joint running from the tenon to the F# keytone holeThere is another hairline crack on the back of the middle joint down from the tenon. There is also a crack in the bell running from the tenon to the low Bb tone hole. All of these cracks are very common (on the outside of the tenon sockets) and will be easily repaired. There are no other cracks or crack repairs that I can fine.
The left hand F lever was removed at some point (apparently by the original owner\'s oboe professor) and will need to be replaced. I received a quote from Chudnow in 2011 for the work and he said it would be about $500 to have the cracks repaired, the lever replaced, and to COA the horn. I would recommend planning on paying a bit more than that for the overhaul as I know Nora Post starts at around $1000.
I am a music teacher with a music degree focused in oboe. This is an excellent horn and will make an outstanding instrument after it has been repaired. This would be perfect for any serious high school or college student, or professional. Loree has a well deserved reputation for quality and their instruments from this period have a very dark \"sweet\" tone quality with an excellent scale. I am only selling because I am going to be traveling soon and have too many instruments. The oboe also comes with the original F. Loree oboe case and a Jean Cavallero case cover. Please feel free to ask me any questions you might have. If you are in the Boise, ID area and would like to look at the instrument in person please message me to set up an appointment.
Thank you for looking and happy offerding!
