Condition Report

This oboe is preserved in its original condition and is accompanied by a traditional case, a reed, and a greasepot, indicative of its vintage nature. While not guaranteed to be playable, it remains an invaluable artifact for scholarly research and historical appreciation.This instrument is presented solely as a historical artifact. Playability is not assured and should not be anticipated. It serves as a significant piece for academic study, collection by enthusiasts, or exhibition in museums. Suitable for collectors, researchers, museums, or academic institutions interested in historic brass and woodwind instruments.

As this instrument is historically interesting, we have chosen to not do restoration work on it and leave that to the eventual owner. Instrument will likely need pad and keywork to be playable.
