The Lorée Royal is the elite top-of-the-line member of the Lorée Oboe Family. Made from the finest Grenadilla wood with a homogeneous grain, this instrument appeals to those looking for uncompromising quality and a darker, rounder tone resulting from the thicker wood that Lorée has specified for the Royal model. Stricter jointing tolerances and rigorous tests throughout the production stages provide an improvement of the legendary reliability of the Lorée mechanism. Specifications: • Ergonomic plateau for better comfort of the forefinger and safer playing. • Tenons with dual metal reinforcement to prevent wobbling joints. • Adjustable thumb rest to improve natural positioning of the hand and comfort. • Adjustment screw to regulate the height of the medium C key to affect the color and intonation of the note. This oboe was bought new from Howarth in London, UK, in August 2005, for ₤4,300 (US7,700). It has only had a single owner, who has taken great care with the instrument over the past three years, and as such, it is in exceptionally good condition.
