Description

The global success achieved by the XL Oboe inspired us to develop a complete range, including the English Horn, and most recently the Oboe d’Amore. As well as our unique tone hole structure design giving a more focussed sound, and unparalleled intonation and projection, we have also developed the keywork for improved comfort, particularly to the right-hand keys, giving the player greater dexterity. Our new range of XL bocals complement these instruments perfectly.

 

The density of the Blackwood body gives a dark and powerful sound, enhancing the projection.
