A fine oboe

Musical Experience: Oboe & English horn for 58 years
Style of music: Classical symphony orchestra, band

I decided I needed to retire the 50+ year old Cabaret (before that became Loree's student line) for a new instrument. This instrument seemed to be a good, economical choice. The Fox 400 plays beautifully right out of the box with a wonderful sound and an even scale throughout the range of the instrument. The craftsmanship is excellent. I'm very delighted with the instrument after several months with it.

The first time I played on a Fox 400 was in the back room of a music store and I knew at that moment that I loved this instrument. Some people might describe the sound of an oboe as shrill or biting, but with this instrument, there is no danger of that. It creates a rich, pleasing tone as well as having every key you need for alternate fingerings so that you can have the optimal performance.
