LOREE ENGLISH HORN BR Series made in 1968

Without any hesitation, I affirm that this Loree is absolutely one of the most fabulous English horns in existence! Plays like a dream. HUGE, RESONANT SOUND. Absolutely stable throughout the entire range, superb scale, phenomenal reponse. Voicing has just been checked and adjusted by oboe maker Thomas Hiniker. Just overhauled by Paul Woltz: all new cork pads, nylon tip adjustment screws installed throughout, keys fitted, adjustable thumbrest installed. No cracks of any kind. Has "open standing" F resonance mechanism. Comes in new BAM double case. Two #13 bore Hiniker bocals chosen to match this instrument. This horn sings! Truly the best of the best.
PRICELESS - Please Inquire

Welcome to OBOES.US.

A Division of Olympic Carillon, Inc.

My passion is playing and collecting oboes, oboes d'amore, English horns, Heckelphones, saxophones, and related wind instruments. I often sell oboes, English horns, and an occasional saxophone from my collection. I thoroughly enjoy the process of matching musicians (from beginner to professional) with instruments.

I am always glad to help with any questions you may have about anything related to the oboe family. Consultation is always freely offered.

Almost all of the instruments I offer for sale from my collection have been meticulously overhauled, with new cork pads throughout, nylon tips installed on all of the adjustment screws, keys swaged and fitted, and re-voicing as necessary. Any oboe I have listed for sale on consignment will be in first class playable condition before being sent out.

I also at times buy oboes and English horns outright- please ask.
