I was able to reserve 6 wonderful instruments, from four different makers, and spend hours testing and comparing them with a wide range of bocals with the expert assistance of Tiffany and Hannah's blind listening test from another room. I was then able to take two instruments with me to try overnight and had a very efficient checkout process the next day. Hannah is gracious, helpful, and incredibly professional. I will be returning when I'm ready to replace my oboe. read less

We received trial oboes that were beautifully packed and shipped to us. We were given 1 week to try a few of her oboes and eventually were able to choose one. As my 12 year old son is the player, I admittedly know nothing about oboes. She took the time to speak with my son’s oboe teacher to help guide her in what trial oboes to send us. She also only sent us oboes that were within our budget. We had a great experience and will return in a few years. read less

My daughter was able to try out several different oboes and select the one which best suited her. All of the oboes were in excellent condition and played very well, but there was one that soared above the rest!

She has been incredibly easy to work with - from making up lists, to advising on which oboes to try, extremely communicative, and the best customer service one could expect. In fact, she exceeds any expectation I might have had. She has united me with my new love - a gorgeous Howarth S50c in mopane. For her graciousness and the ease of the whole process, I cannot have enough gratitude. Trying different oboes has the potential to be extremely fraught with logistical difficulties, but Hannah has it down to a science. I will highly recommend her to anyone who needs to purchase an oboe, cor anglais, or d’amore.Thank you, Hannah, for everything. ❤️ read less

Four days after initially reaching out for an inventory list, I had four oboes in my hands to trial. I purchased a beautiful Howarth 540c a week after that.
