Description
The Lorée Royal Model ‘cR + 3’ oboe is a professional conservatoire instrument with a Lorée thumbplate.
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 Royal model oboes have a thicker wall compared to the Etoile and
standard model Lorée oboes. This gives the Royal oboe a rounder and
darker tone.
