F. Lorée Professional Oboe

Description

Beautiful instrument with warm and resonant sound. Lorée/Loree serial # RQ## AK, the instrument was new in 2009. Played and cared for by myself as a student/young professional oboist as I studied and performed with some of the finest musicians in the country. Selling due to financial hardship now that I've stopped playing. Serviced by John Symer regularly throughout its life, played only once in the last year since he adjusted it. Appraised by John for ,000.00, I'm happy to send a copy of the appraisal if needed.
Still working with lack of a trial period due to COVID, so Buy it Now price is appropriately reduced. However, I'm happy to share any necessary reedmaking/technical advice after it's been purchased. Please do not hesitate to contact me with questions!
Other specifics:
Full conservatory plateau system
All trill keys, 3rd octave key

There were cracks in top joint during the early part of its life, all have been repaired and the seal has been good for at least 4 years.
Though it was used significantly during my ownership of it, it doesn't show signs of being blown out, it was evaluated just last year before I stopped playing
