Laubin Oboes

Description

Be a part of the legacy.

Laubin oboes have been a legend in the American school of oboe. They are meticulously hand crafted—every part of the key mechanism is custom-fit to the body of the instrument, the wood is aged for at least ten years, and the keys are heavily silver-plated and hand-burnished. During manufacture, a partial synthetic liner was inserted in the top joint to prevent cracking and extend the life of the instrument.

We have two beautiful Rosewood Laubin oboes—one from 1987 (serial # 18xx) and one from 2007 (serial #24xx). Both have recently been thoroughly serviced and with no crack history.

Description

The Yamaha 841LT (Grenadilla) and 841LKT (Kingwood) are full-conservatory professional oboes with a clear sound quality and superb intonation. These Duet+ instruments have upper joints lined with a thin layer of ebonite and all their tone holes (except for metal octave vents) are lined with POM resin for an air-tight, stable contact in between the tone holes and the pads. In the rare event of cracking, the damage to the tone holes or the bore would be minimal and cosmetic.

Yamaha oboes come in a quality French case lined with maroon velvet and an insulated case cover, Yamaha accessories included. New Duet+ instruments have a Yamaha Factory warranty that covers the oboe against defects in materials or workmanship for 5 years, and cracks in the Duet+ upper joint for 10 years.
