 Here is a few words from the maker of the instrument :  „ Every instrument made in my studio is made entirely by hand, from rough working to precisely elaborated details, as it was done in the past centuries. To make my oboes I use the highest quality wood, dried in the natural way, seasoned for a period of a dozen years or more. Such a long period of seasoning is very favourable or even necessary to achieve the maximum of wood physical condition and , above all, the best quality of sound of the future instrument. Every part of an oboe is made of same log of wood, what assures well balanced sound in all registers, physical stability and consistent, agreeable appearance of the instrument. Every oboe is impregnated exlusively with natural vegetal oils. Some models are also stained, according to the ancient manner.I use only entirely natural, well-tried for centuries dyes of vegetal origin. Then-from the length of the wood seasoning, through entirely hand work-out, to the choice of the materials used, the whole process is performed with special care for faithfull reconstruction of the baroque original, all in purpose that every instrument would meet requirements of today’s musician.”
