Oboes of recent vintage seem especially likely to crack. I suspect that some of the wear on that one instrument may have been caused in part by the owner using excessive force when pulling on the swab over the course of many years. In my life I have only encountered one oboe (a Loree from the 1950s) that I would assess as having been nearly 'played out', far too easy to blow, with pitch centers being speculative at best. I surmise that many generations of players after me will enjoy this oboe. It has no cracks, and the wood is a dense as I have ever seen on an oboe instrument. One of the most beloved oboes in my collection is a well used Loree from 1927, now completed restored, gold plated. Personally, I think that the possibility of 'blowing out' an oboe lies in the realm of mythology.

Even over the course of 30 year's time, Laubin can not report that even one instrument had changed detectably. The idea is that after a number of years of playing the bore of an oboe will change so much that the instrument will loose its 'pitch centers' and become 'unstable.'Īl Laubin measured the bores of all the oboes returned the factory over the years for repair. Over the years much talk has been generated on the subject of 'blown out oboes' (see IDRS digest archives on this topic). Thus the 'new' wood is usually not as stable, and cracking, even severe cracking, and warping seem to plague recent production. The 'new' wood tends to be 'porous' and 'open grain' in comparison to the old wood. The 'old' ('aged') stocks of wood no longer exist, and the wood that is available tends to come from trees not as old as those cut in the 1930s. Nowadays, Loree makes about 1200 instruments per year.

The 'old' wood tends to have been aged for many years before being turned into an instrument. The 'old' wood tends to be 'tight' grain from old trees. The wood of the older instrument, especially ones made before (say) 1970s tends to be of a finer quality (in general) than most instruments made recently.

Buy the finest oboe you can possibly afford! I would say purchasing a fine, vintage professional model oboe in fine condition would be a far better investment than purchasing a new 'modified' or 'student' model oboe. Playing a student model instrument necessitates the learning of 'bad' habits, such as having to compensate for the lack of a left F key by excessive use of the 'fork' F, or 'sliding' for (say) D to the usual F fingering. At present, Loree is making 3 different styles of instrument bore: 'regular' bore, 'ak' & 'dm' /'German' bore. About 80% of professional oboists in the US play Loree instruments.

If a student begins on a 'student model' or 'modified' Conservatory instrument (instruments not having the full complement of keys), the transition to a full Conservatory system can be difficult. A 3rd octave key and low Bb resonance key should be thought of as optional. First, resolve to purchase an instrument with ALL the usual 'professional' keys! For oboe, this should be: left F, F resonance mechanism, articulated low B-C#, 'split ring' D, Ab - Bb right hand trill.
