Description
The Lorée cor anglais (iR +3) model is a professional conservatoire instrument.
Founded in 1881, F. Lorée are one of the oldest specialist oboe manufacturing firms. They have a long established reputation for developing and manufacturing fine professional instruments in their French factory.
The Lorée Royal model cor anglais has a thicker wall than the standard model cor anglais. This creates a dark and powerful sounding instrument that projects well for orchestral playing.
