Louis (Chelsea) oboes which were copies of Loree oboes had these pad washers too, as did early Howarths. They're often removed (by unsoldering the screw mounted in the pad cup) so modern pads can be used, though I've only removed them on instruments that have been replated and the screw thread has become too large, but have tried to keep them on instruments that still have them as they're a nice touch. This idea of pad washers/rsonators on instruments other than flutes and saxes came back into fashion when Buffet introduced their Elite clarinet in the late '80s and Leblanc also used them on their Opus clarinets when they were launched in the mid '90s.

F.Loree Oboe.Serial Number help please Author: Date: 2010-08-02 23:14 Hello all,I was wondering if anyone might enlighten me with a serial number for an F.Loree paris Oboe please? The serial number is DD57 I can only describe it as 'English thumbplate conservatoire system' though the octave keys are only 'simple octave keys' Any advice appreciated! Re: F.Loree Oboe.Serial Number help please Author: Date: 2010-08-02 23:25 That's from the early '70s going by this serial number list: When you mean English thumbplate conservatoire system' - is it dual system in that Bb and C can be played by both lifting off the thumbplate or by closing RH1? Some Lorees were built as purely thumbplate system (not dual system) where there was no linkage from RH1 to the top joint Bb and C keys, but had most gadgets found on full Gillet conservatoire systems (banana key, split D#-E trill, Ab-Bb trill, G#-A trill, etc), Chris.

Re: F.Loree Oboe.Serial Number help please Author: Date: 2010-08-02 23:33 Hi Chris, I have only just aquired this Oboe and am actually asking on behalf of a close friend whom does not have internet access,I shall take a photograph and upload it if this is possible and maybe you could possibly put me right with this.My friend purchased it to learn on but is much older than he expected and is rather lost with the system.

However, some slight differences in keywork patterns exist between the genuine Loree English horns and the Malerne instruments of the 1960s. The list of 'stencils' offered here is simply what I have seen so far. I expect to revise, expand, correct this list over time. I welcome comments and suggestions.

I intend that the list be viewed as a 'rough guide' to the realm of 'stencil' brands - many mysteries, many surprises. I surmise that many, perhaps most, of the French stencil marks in the 'Ds' such as DuPre, Duvall, Dumont, Deschamps, Durand, etcetera were in fact made by either Cabart or Malerne. Some 'stencil' instruments were sold to various companies 'unfinished' or 'semi-finished,' with the intent that the firm marketing and branding the instrument would have their own artisans complete the voicing. Sometimes, the final voicing was not completed, and the instruments simply shipped out 'as is.'

GRAS' - Some Thibouville • 'J. HENRY' - Likely Cousenon, or LeBret • 'INCAGNOLI' - Prestini system made by Orsi • 'A.

It is a glorious instrument, very stable, beautifully voiced, impeccable scale, and possessed of a 'foundation shaking' resonance. A cursory inspection would have many an oboist convinced that this is a in fact a B series Loree.

The 'post-war' Cabart English horns, both ring and plateau, can often be of remarkable merit, also possessing a 'haunting,' 'penetrating,' and 'BIG' sound. Sadly, Malerne does not rate well at all in the oboe department. I usually advise clients to avoid Malerne oboes altogether, though on occasion I have found a Ben Storch voiced Malerne 'Benwal' oboe that plays very well. However, Malerne overall made excellent English horns. I usually refer to Malerne English horns as the 'Mercedes Benz' of English horns.* Malerne was bought out by Marigaux in 1976, and Marigaux is still making the same excellent 'Malerne model' (standard bore) English horn today with only a few minor changes in the ergonomics of the keywork.

Move the swab through the different sections of the oboe until there is no more moisture. When a swab grows old or starts showing holes, use a replacement as you never want pieces of fabric getting stuck inside your oboe. Also, every week or two, wipe off the keys with a polishing cloth, and from time to time, vacuum the inside of the oboe case to remove lint and dust.

What are the different members of the oboe family? The different members of the oboe family include: • Standard oboe: This plays in the soprano range in the key of C.

Tom said that he created a huge pile of wood shavings on his bench from all the reaming. Voicing completed, the oboe played beautifully. I have had exactly the same experience with a 'LaFleur' (Malerne) English horn, and new Thibaud oboe and new Thibaud English horn. One of the curiousities I have had was a 'Cabart' English horn that was in fact made by Malerne! I suspect this instrument was made in 1974 just as Loree was negotiating to purchase the Cabart firm. The Malerne 'Cabart' was likely branded to fill an order after Cabart had ceased production of English horns.

Very interesting, Peter! Tell me, were they auditioning the players, or the instruments? I have yet to find an instrument with a banana key that I can use safely - the one on my Loree is useless (it sits far too low, so it is impossible for me to seal the E tone-hole chimney and press the banana key at the same time.) J. Re: F.Loree Oboe.Serial Number help please Author: Date: 2010-08-03 07:50 The 'banana key' seems to persist only by strength of tradition. It was a bad idea on a plateau instrument, and even an even worse idea on a ring system oboe. Ergonomically it is a nightmare as to use it your hands will necessarily be pulled out of position.
