Welcome to
Oboe Chicago
Whether you play in the Chicago Symphony,
your community orchestra, or high school
band, you share the same goal to own an oboe
to suit your personal needs. Through
my research and over 20 years experience as
a performer, I can help you find an
instrument that will fit your different
concepts of reed vibration and tonal
production.
My oboe selection
will let you, your reed, and your oboe all
perform as one!
I pride myself in making sure that you love
the oboe you choose. I give
professional players, college professors,
and students all an equal amount of
attention in finding the perfect oboe.
I offer new and used instruments on a
two-week trial either in your own home or
in my acoustically sound studio.
Exceed beyond your expectations
and rise above the BEST! |
