Marigaux | Model M2 Oboe with Howarth thumbplate

The M2 model is the latest
professional model from Marigaux. It features a unique design with a
shortened top joint and longer length main body joint. The shorter head
joint allows the keywork to be redesigned to its optimum position and
reduces the risk of any cracking in the instrument. The M2 is supplied
with 2 head joints, one in Grenadilla wood and one made from synthetic
material. The synthetic joint has the same responsiveness and resonance
as the wooden joint, but is not affected by changes in temperature and
humidity.
