I am a sophomore in college and I was extremely worried about the process of buying a new oboe, but she made the experience a lot more comfortable and less nerve racking! She has a lot of information about different types of oboes and will also introduce you to some other brands you have never considered! I bought my Howarth XL through her and I’m so happy that I was able to make that purchase through her.

After a very frustrating experience with Music & Arts, Hannah was able to help us very quickly and make sure my daughter had an oboe she loved before she had to leave for college. The oboes for the trial arrived promptly, with very detailed instructions on what to do to try them out and make a decision. Super easy to return the ones that my daughter didn't pick and pay for the one she did. Would highly recommend the Oboe Fairy to anyone looking to purchase an oboe! read lessJULIE L.8/14/2023

We had been renting a beginner oboe through one of the national music instrument chain stores. When I inquired at the chain store about purchase of an intermediate oboe none of the staff at the store had knowledge of the oboe instrument! I knew we needed to look elsewhere to find someone who truly understands and represents the unique attributes of the oboe. We were fortunate to find Hannah online and we contacted Hannah and my son and husband were able to meet Hannah at her studio to try several different oboes to select one for purchase. Hannah is friendly, professional and well organized! She was great with our son when he was sight reading for her, and her knowledge and passion of the oboe is obvious and shines. We highly recommend making a quality instrument purchase from Hannah. She will guide your through the process all of the way. Thank you Hannah for helping to support our son in his music journey at school. read lessTracey R.7/30/2023Buying from Hannah has been a pleasant experience from beginning to end.

Her upfront communication removed much of the stress of sending money into the unknown, as did her reputation among oboe/English horn player-clients.

The experience was smooth and easy. When I called, she actually picked up the phone. After explaining my needs and my price range, Hannah emailed me a list of instruments that she had in stock accompanied with information about each instrument. I selected 2 instruments and then later an additional instrument. My advice is to get 3 instruments at the same time. Hannah provides specific instructions on when to open the shipping case and when it is best to play test the instruments. It can take as long as 6- 8 hours for an instrument to come up to an acceptable playing temperature. Don’t risk damaging the instruments. She also sent 13 trial bocals from several manufacturers in different sizes. With so many combinations to try, I needed more than the one week trail, which Hannah granted. I called several other companies. No one had such a large number of instruments available for testing. Hannah offered more than expected. Also included with the trial instruments was a complimentary goodie bag of items to enhance the experience. I called Hannah several times during the trail period. She was attentive, thoughtful, and helpful as she answered my questions. I was very much pleased with the service provided by Hannah and I love the EH/bocal combination that I selected. I highly recommend Hannah’s Oboes and would have no problem recommending her to my friends in the oboe community. read lessJohn K.2/05/2023I am so great full that I found out about Hannah, she was very helpful and patient with me and my mom on paying for the oboe because it’s expensive... read moreI am so great full that I found out about Hannah, she was very helpful and patient with me and my mom on paying for the oboe because it’s expensive for an oboe or any instrument but thankfully we got it and also got help from HeartbeatMusicProject. I got to try four different oboes with my oboe teacher Amanda in the New Mexico Philharmonic Orchestra. The oboes I tried were two F. Loree (125th Royal and Royal Ak), one Yamaha 841LT , and one Howarth London XL oboe. I chose the Howarth London XL. The tone fantastic for it to be used!! It looks new and right out of the case and plays like if it was. My old oboe was a Linton oboe and it’s been limiting my progress and it was frustrating trying to get the Linton oboe to play. Now thankfully Hannah helped me get this Howarth London professional oboe and to pick it up in person. Definitely going to come back if I ever learn the English horn or oboe d’amore in the future. I trust Hannah and she’s a great oboe seller and oboist. It was really great meeting her! 🙂 I’ll take great care my Howarth oboe! I’m a Native American (Navajo) high school oboist from the Navajo Nation in New Mexico. Ahéhee Hannah! 🙂 Ps, I recommend her to anyone who’s interested in buying a new or used oboe, english horn, oboe d’amore. read lessElijah S.1/19/2023

Testimonials
Thank you so so much for the amazing oboes!
Ms. Hannah, Thank you so so much for the amazing oboes! It was a pleasure to play such beautiful instruments. The one I ended up with is everything I could’ve asked for…and more! I never would’ve found it if you hadn’t sent me those extra oboes. Thank you so much for your generosity and trust in me. I’m forever thankful for your help in finding an instrument I’ll cherish forever.
Thanks
Thanks for making this such an enjoyable process!
Perhaps among the best of oboes anyone could buy!
I chose the Howarth LXV because it played as effortlessly as one could imagine!!! With the most beautiful intonation…it even made bad reeds sound great! Perhaps among the best of oboes anyone could buy! This oboe could easily set the new standard… Highly recommended.
I just wanted to say THANK YOU!
Thank you so much for letting me try all these oboes
Dear Hannah, Thank you so much for letting me try all these oboes. I have chosen the Howarth S40c oboe. This has been a wonderful experience and I am glad to give this oboe a new forever home.
Dear Hannah,
Thank you for helping us with the purchase of an oboe. Such a beautiful instrument. Erin is very happy and with all that has gone on, it is good. Thank you again.
You are awesome! My daughter is so happy
Dear Hannah, You are awesome! My daughter is so happy to play her new oboe. I can’t thank you enough. Donna.”…. “Thank you so much for allowing me to further my oboe playing. I love the Howarth that you introduced to me and so glad you did.
Thank you so much for taking care
Hannah, thank you so much for taking care of Daniel through this English Horn selection process. When ‘mom’ can’t be there, it’s such a comfort to have a wise adult guiding him. He had such nice things to say about you. Thank you, Myla
I just wanted to take a moment to thank you for all of your help and assistance
Hi Hannah, I just wanted to take a moment to thank you for all of your help and assistance with finding the right oboe for my daughter Sydney. After about 4-5 months of trying to do my known research and speaking with several people, I was referred to you by a music teacher in my daughter’s school district. For someone like myself who does not know anything about the oboe at all, you made this entire venture very easy and comfortable. You helped along with my school district to narrow the choices out of so many oboes which was wonderful. It was amazing that you sent the three choices for Sydney to try for a week before making a decision and without any obligation to have to make a purchase was stress free. Sydney loved practicing and trying out all three of them with the help from her band teachers to make the perfect choice for her. Your knowledge of this instrument and your willingness to help others like myself who needed guidance was fabulous. I will absolutely be recommending you to anyone who needs help with anything regarding the oboe. My daughter and I will probably be contacting you in the future if we should have any other questions or help. There really isn’t any need to go anywhere else. You are a gem to those of us who have children to love playing their instruments and want to take it as far as they can. Sincerely, Silvana
Thank you for the goodie packs
Hannah, Thank you for the goodie packs, they will be put to good use. They were much needed, as well. I really appreciate all your help with trying these oboes. It has been a wonderful experience.

Thank you so much for the service you have provided
Thank you so much for the service you have provided, getting this horn in shape and back out into the world! I am so happy that it will be played again—and that it sold for such a good price, which will now help me buy student instruments for my two children. Very, very grateful. If I can be of help in future with a referral, please don’t hesitate to contact me. Sincerely, Avery.” Kansas/Thailand. December 2018.

Dear Hannah, Thank you so much for helping me find my dream oboe! I cannot explain how excited I am to have this new oboe. I am so glad I went through your wonderful service ? I have purchased the Loree oboe. Thank you so much.
Selling your instrument is an emotional and hard process
Selling your instrument is an emotional and hard process, especially when you play a horn as specialized as the oboe. When I decided to sell my oboe, it was no question to turn to Hannah for help. I was lucky enough to buy my horn from Hannah in 2011. Finding professional-used oboes in good condition from a specialized seller is nearly impossible- through Hannah, however, the process was easy. I had the opportunity to play multiple oboes before deciding on my own (which I would play for 7 years). When my time with the instrument came to a close, trying to sell on my own was an excruciating process. Very few people in my area were interested in purchasing a professional level instrument, not to mention that my local instrument repair shop doesn’t know how to clean and repair anything beyond a student level flute or clarinet without messing it up even further. Hannah removed every complication from the process- including bending the rules to allow me to pay for the servicing at a later date (which was MUCH appreciated). Through her, my instrument was taken from worn and torn to like-new and sold in LESS THAN A MONTH AND A HALF. This process on my own could’ve taken up to a year (if I was lucky). I couldn’t be more grateful to Hannah for making this process incredibly easy on both my wallet and my heart.
Dear Hannah, after a lot of online research
Dear Hannah, after a lot of online research, we found the website for Hannah’s oboes. I am so glad we did! Hannah is not only knowledgeable about her oboes she is also a guide who tries to fit the oboe to the player. Through emails and phone calls, she helped us find the correct grouping of four oboes for my daughter to try. My daughter is a fifth-year oboe player who has only played oboe for her school band on a school owned oboe. Hannah recommended that we find an oboist to help us evaluate the oboes. We live in a small town on the other side of the U.S. but Hannah knew an oboist close to where we live. Not only was trying out the grouping of four oboes with an oboist fun and informational, but it was also so very important in helping us choose the correct oboe. I cannot thank Hannah enough for all of her help. It is such a huge investment both financially and musically. Hannah also sends a folder with lots of information and a goodie bag – an oboe swag bag. My daughter thought it was so fun getting all these little surprises. Hannah truly is an Oboe Fairy. Sincerely, Amy
I want you to know how impressed we were with the entire experience
I want you to know how impressed we were with the entire experience. From the packaging, directions/information and the details of every piece having your logo (which Kayla loves!). She was so excited about the sticker, reed box, and water cup all having your logo. We are definitely a fan and will refer you whenever the chance comes. I personally hope we do not need your services again ourselves because this oboe should last Kayla for many, many years…but we will sing your praises whenever possible. Thank you!!
My family recently embarked on the journey of purchasing an oboe
My family recently embarked on the journey of purchasing an oboe. We were unsure of our wishes and had to ask for multiple lists as we continually refined our desired features. Through it all, Hannah was gracious and applied no sales pressure. She understood the importance of the decision. When we were finally ready to order a trial, one of the oboes was no longer available. She listened to our feature list, assessed our situation, and gave an informed recommendation. The trials were sent promptly. Upon opening the box, it was even more obvious the amount of passion and professionalism that Hannah brings to the business. Everything was clearly labeled and there were numerous support documents. My daughter tried each instrument with her oboe instructor and finally made a decision. It just happened to be the one Hannah recommended! My family highly appreciates all of Hannah’s assistance and The Oboe Fairy will be the first stop for any future purchases. John.

Hannah, I’m astonished at how quickly you were able to sell my Loree oboe and am so glad that I gave it to you to find a new home.
You are inspirational and make a huge impact on future musicians!
Hannah, it really has been a pleasure working with you throughout this process. My daughter loves her new instruments and is happier with the sound that comes out of them. You have made the entire process absolutely painless and we have appreciated all your guidance through the process. Thanks again for all you do! You are inspirational and make a huge impact on future musicians! Have a great week!
Thank you for making this an amazing experience
Good morning, I hope all is well. Thank you for making this an amazing experience and keeping me informed throughout this process. Your display of professionalism and stellar customer service was greatly appreciated. Be blessed!!
I will definitely purchase from her again and heartily recommend her to any serious oboist.
I recently had the absolute pleasure of doing business with Hannah, the owner of Hannah’s Oboes/The Oboe Fairy. She immediately understood my urgency of buying a quality pre-owned instrument at an affordable price. The first instrument she selected for me to consider was spot on—the one I ended up purchasing. She also sent the instrument across the country to Florida to allow me to inspect it on a one-week trial basis. Once I decided that I would indeed buy the instrument, Hannah concluded the purchase quickly and in a professional manner. In addition, she sent music, method books, cleaning, and reed-making kit. She is gracious and kind online and on the phone—very personable and pleasant. I will definitely purchase from her again and heartily recommend her to any serious oboist.
