Here is a Lafleur wooden oboe.
It is in very good condition, no cracks, all pads and springs present.
BUT, the “fishtail” key which operates the 2 bottom notes is seized.
So the 2 bottom pads only close together, not separately.
So this is being sold as spares or repair.
It is gold stamped on the bell, “J.R.LAFLEUR & SON LTD – IMPORTED BY BOOSEY & HAWKES – LONDON”.
