Hi Paul, Moeck makes a wide variety of mass-produced wind instruments for the amateur market. Their first oboe was a non-historical design by Otto Steinkopf...
Hi Steve I have to disagree with you here. The Moeck oboes are bad, I know because I've had one. In January Harry told me that he designed them an A415 copy...

Hello, I recently sold my baroque oboe, but have an extra top joint which needs the middle and bottom joints made to it to make the full oboe. Does anyone have...
Hello Paul, I came across an amateur trying to play a moeck classical hautboy. Any resemblance with a historical instrument was pure coincidence. My impression...
A maker would need to have the top joint in hand before even agreeing to make a middle joint and bell to go with it. If the top joint is some years old, the...

Mary: I wrote the following a couple of weeks ago when Matthew Jennejohn was asking about Richters oboes. It did not get posted because of the Yahoo problems I...
Cecil, Friends, I have a hautboy top joint in boxwood by Baumann (Paris 1790-1830). Should I send it to Friedrich and Sand to have the rest of the horn made?...

Hi! My modest amateur group - now with two haytboys - eagerly wants to play parts of The souper music by Delalande. We know that the original edition is on the...
Robert: That, I don't think would be worth the trouble, either to them or to you. In any case it is not nearly so extreme as some of the things I have heard...

Hi Robert, Marc Ecochard is a very fine French hautboy maker and has been building for at least twenty years -- surprising that you haven't seen his work ...

Hi, I don't really post here (just read the conversations on the odd occasion) As to the "War" I think the IDRS conference is not a good test to see how things...
Hi Marc, Thank you for the information about this oboe. The shop selling it had it listed as an "oboe de dragons" but knew not what this meant. Was the ...

Hi Marc! Yes I remember very well trying that oboe at BEMF '87, after which you were kind enough to send me a copy of the dimensions. Jonathan made one for...
