Description
The Marigaux 2001 model oboe is a professional conservatoire instrument.
Marigaux have been a leading manufacturer of high quality instruments in their French factory for over 85 years. Every instrument is hand finished by their experienced makers and fully tested and tuned by professional players before it leaves the factory. This attention to detail has made Marigaux oboes a popular choice for professional players.
The 2001 model oboe features redesigned keys to make them more ergonomic for the player. The G, G# and long F keys for the left hand and the C, C# and Eb keys for the right hand are re-positioned. This allows for greater technical fluency over the range of the instrument.
