This has a great sound! Like I’ve said before, if I sound ok on an oboe, it must be a good one (i.e. I’m not very good !)

Some pads look good, and some should probably be replaced. But currently, they are doing their job pretty well.

There is a repaired crack at the top of the upper tenon. One of our techs tells me that because it went through the post (and not a tone hole), that it will not be a huge issue.

Overall condition of the instrument is accurately portrayed in the pictures.

The case does latch and secures the instrument reasonably well. We will ship this carefully and safely.
