【Workshop Repaired】Hans Kreul Oboe

This is a German-made H. Cousineau oboe.

A trial performance video is available.

[Repairs Performed]
All pads, key corks, and joint corks replaced.
Polishing, body cleaning, etc.

Fully overhauled and ready to play immediately!

[Details on Tone and Playability]
This instrument has The German Sound that oboists often prefer!

It has a soft, dark resonance and tone that feels very comfortable to play.
Despite this, the playability is not too heavy, nor too light, making it easy to play.
As it is a semi-automatic system, there is no resistance specific to a forward-weighted instrument, and the air passes through smoothly.

Additionally, the keywork includes:
A third octave key, a low B resonance key, double rings, and other keys that were only equipped on high-end instruments of this era, as well as:
A convenient left F key, a trill system for the lower register, and a banana key.

Upon closer inspection, there are many polishing scratches and scuffs on the keys and body, so please check the photos.

They are not severe,
and the selling price has been lowered accordingly,
making this a very good option for those who do not require a perfect cosmetic appearance.

Please feel free to contact us with any questions or requests.

[About Woodwind Instruments Currently Listed]
Repaired and adjusted by a former musical instrument store employee and current private workshop repairman.
The finish differs from instruments simply marked as maintained or operation confirmed.

While the price is set slightly higher than the general market price for used instruments,
it is more cost-effective than purchasing a used instrument from a store and then having it repaired.

A flyer with our workshop's contact information will be included with the shipment.
We do not consider the sale finished; we offer post-purchase adjustment support and
