Hannah was amazing throughout the whole experience (especially considering it was the week before Christmas!). She even arranged for us to trial an instrument that was just coming out of the repair shop. We were able to get my daughter a beautiful instrument that will be lovingly played for many years to come!! Super quick response to emails/phone calls and I know that we will use Hannah's Oboes in the future. 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. All of the oboes come with a one year crack and minor maintenance warranty, which is great for peace of mind. Hannah also includes an assortment of accessories, including a feather, cotton swab, microfiber cloth, reed case, and a delicious sampler of her own coffee mix! I absolutely recommend purchasing an oboe through Hannah, and in the future if I upgrade, it will be through Hannah's Oboes! 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!.

I needed a full education on the market of oboes today as what I knew before is no longer applicable.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
