Both are such fine instruments. I can't speak highly enough about the kind, personalized care from Hannah during the trial and sale. 1000 thanks! read less

Wow is she knowledgeable about all things oboe, and a joy to work with. I met her for the first time at IDRS Tampa, with my sweet 1925 Loree EH in tow. Told her I had been "largely" happy with the Symer bocal I had used for about two decades, but it's high register was not as free as I might wish, and I was always on the lookout for something better. She suggested I try a gorgeous silver bocal by the late Bill Glover. OMG! It outshone even my Symer and across the entire range of my EH, especially the upper register. Bought it on the spot for a more than fair price, and ever since it's been my primary. I then asked her if she would take on consignment (which she did) a virtually unused Hiniker EH bocal that I bought elsewhere on a whim and still carried in my case but didn't use as it was never was a good fit for my old Loree. She sold it shortly after the end of IDRS Tampa, with her check quickly in my hands; all in a quick, seamless, painless transaction. (She even gave me a free bag of espresso to feed the other addiction that we had shared!) Wouldn't hesitate to buy again from Hannah (with or without the coffee!) and/or recommend her to anyone serious about buying the best fit of an oboe family instrument or accessories and getting great advice from and dealing with a "top drawer," straight-shooter pro!. Thanks, Hannah-you're the best!. read less

Her customer service is outstanding, her knowledge is impeccable, and she is very responsive. We also enjoyed the thoughtful things she included with the oboe, and her fairy stickers are a hit! Having options was fun for all, and she made it very easy to do with shipping and paperwork. I highly recommend working with her. read less

I needed a full education on the market of oboes today as what I knew before is no longer applicable. Hannah was very helpful and thorough, asking leading questions to determine which oboes she thought I would most enjoy, and provided me with three to trail over a few day period. She provided outstanding oboes to trial and provided top-notch customer service and advice in a friendly manner. She was also available on my schedule, which was appreciated as I work a job during the day.Coincidentally, I worked with three other oboe consignment shops to try out their consignment options concurrently. Only one other provided friendly service while I had strange experiences with the other two.If you need assistance choosing an oboe, call Hannah. read less

She sent a nice variety of oboes and showed great compassion, flexibility, and patience when unforeseen circumstances prevented us from making our selection within the normal trial period. Hannah made it easy to pack up and return the oboes we did not select. And we are very happy with the instrument we kept. Highly recommend. read less

My son stopped playing oboe in his senior year and the oboe was left unused for around two years. Last summer I just realized the oboe has been idle and contacted Hanna to sell it. She helped to do all necessary repairs, cleaning, and testing to bring the oboe to its best state. It took a while to sell the oboes due to the Covid-19 pandemic but it was finally sold. What I want to say is that from when we bought the oboe to having it prepared and listed to sell, Hanna has done a professional job with friendliness and great care to boost. I'm very happy to have gotten her excellent services and will highly recommend anyone who want to buy or sell oboe to come to her. read less

I'm so grateful that I found Hannah's Oboes, otherwise I would never be able to find a high-quality, professional oboe! She sent us 4 to test for an entire week and the oboes were so great that 2 other players in my studio also bought them! She has incredible customer service and always works to find the perfect oboe for any unique situation. read less

I made the mistake of trying to buy an oboe off eBay and received a cracked piece of junk. Luckily eBay accepted my return. Hannah was able to find the PERFECT F. Loreé Oboe for my daughter.Ms Hannah claims the oboe had a crack that was repaired, but I can’t find evidence of any repairs. It’s the most beautiful Oboe I’ve ever personally seen. She had the Oboe fully serviced and polished, so even though she says it’s a Loreé Oboe from the late 1970’s, it looks brand new and has an amazing tone!The Oboe Fairy really does make dreams come true!!! read less

I can't say enough how great my experience has been!

We got the oboes 1 day after we spoke on the phone! Getting to try different models was so exciting.

I highly recommend you get your instrument from Hannah! read less

Hannah completely blew us away!I initially was looking for a used Fox for my H.S. student, but was prepared to buy new. I'd scoured Ebay, Reverb, Facebook, and Friends of Friends who were willing to sell me 'something' with a no-return policy. I was very leery about having to drop many $$$'s on something 'sight unseen,' but, hey, a band parent is what it is.Enter Hannah - who I found via an online search, although H.S. Student's Teacher had mentioned her some time ago.After a few e-mails back and forth, we all got on a call together - within an hour, Hannah had assessed our HS'er's aptitude and had several options for us. Hannah's enthusiasm and passion for what she does clearly shone through to all of us. Within three days a package showed up at our door with several *brand-new* instruments for our HS'er to try - all within my cost range - no 'upselling' or 'hard-sell'My HS'er got to play all of the instruments and settled on a gorgeous Howarth, preferring it to the Fox and Yamaha oboe's that were also provided. The 7 day trial was more than enough time to narrow the choice and Hannah made shipping a breeze.In this time of Covid, there's no other place my HS'er could have gone and gotten to try such a varied selection of quality instruments. Even though we live three time zones away and had just met Hannah, we felt as if we'd been doing business with her all our lives - The process was that smooth.If you are in the market for an oboe - you owe it to yourself to give her a call. I'm so glad we did. read less

I was hesitant about putting my oboe in the mail, but it was easy, and she takes care of the rest. My 50 year old oboe sold close to the asking price to the first person who tried it. Communication was fast and easy between Hannah and me, so I was able to keep track of the process from beginning to end. Hannah is pleasant to deal with. I highly recommend her operation. read less

She is very caring and understanding, and she will make your business with her a pleasant experience. It is so easy to talk to her, and her main priority is to get you an oboe you absolutely love. I met her years ago at an IDRS conference and couldn’t forget her. She also has a business relationship with master repairman Jason Onks, who repairs oboes on her warranty, who is by far the most accommodating, intelligent, and intuitive repairman I have ever encountered. He can turn any oboe into a gem, and is able to achieve the most discerning of requests on your oboe - especially if you’re someone is very finicky about the mechanism, springs, and pads being uncompromisingly perfect. I’m so thankful to have found Hannah, and will continue to do business with her and Jason Onks for the rest of my career. I highly recommend buying your next oboe from Hannah, or as we call her, the Oboe Fairy! read less

I had some very specific needs for a cor anglais, and Hannah was able to match me up with a cor that absolutely met my requirements. Actually, due to her wonderful inventory, she had several cors that all fit the bill, and she was absolutely generous with her time and feedback when helping me select the very best one for me.Not only did I buy my cor, I’m also currently working with her to find just the right oboe! It’s a challenge with such a formidable inventory, but Hannah’s guidance has been exemplary. I heartily recommend contacting Hannah’s Oboes for anyone looking for the right oboe! read less
