Schreiber Student Oboe (used instrument)   Product Description  This instrument is around 25 years old (estimate) and is showing signs of age (cosmetic wear on the key-work), but the pads have been replaced and so it would remain an economical student instrument. It has a closed hole/thumb-plate system which is what the teachers request for beginners. In store we always recommend the Buffet or Howarth models, but they are £1,200 to £1,500.For local customers please talk to us about our buy back scheme we operate via the showroom (on all new and used instruments). Details of a new model copied from another siteThis instrument is an updated version of the famous Buffet student oboe, which has been a favourite with teachers for many yearsSchreiber has been manufacturing woodwind instruments with quality in mind since 1951, and has a formidable reputation throughout europe, where many of their models are the first choice of studentsThis model is crafted from carefully selected and dried grenadilla wood, which is highly resistant against moisture and cracking, due to Schreiber's special wood treatment The 7130 also features a cast epoxy resin lining in the boreAs a result, all Schreiber oboes carry a generous 5 year guaranteeSupplied with a high grade case and accessoriesNickel-silver key mechanism with heavy silverplatingThe body is of selected Grenadilla woodSimplified conservatory system with thumb-plateManufactured to the highest standards in GermanyCondition Description As with all of our instruments, the oboe has been serviced and tested by our woodwind technician to ensure that it is fully functional and plays well. The action of the key-work is generally smooth, quiet and accurate. As new pads have been fitted and seated the instrument will play well and have a long life. Cosmetically, the instrument is fair. The metalwork is generally dull, and some of the keys show exposed brass from long-term wear. The body is almost unmarked, aside from a small flaw in the wood near the top of the instrument. The case is fully functional, but scuffed at the corners and scratched at the clasps.Returns/WarrantyIf on initial inspection you are disappointed in any way, you may return it and receive a full refund.

It was founded by Trevor Austin (father of Paul) who was previously a euphonium player in the Horse Guards (and played on horseback at the Queen Elizabeth II’s coronation in 1953). Following long service in the Salvation Army as a player and conductor, his reputation led to requests to supply instruments around the UK and overseas. Rosehill is now led by Trevor’s son Paul. The company was awarded a UK government contract in 1999, and since then has been an approved supplier of musical instruments to Her Majesty’s military bands. We also repair, refurbish and service all brass band and military band instruments at our workshops in Beaconsfield. As well as drawing customers from all over the UK, we also supply many instruments to bands and players overseas.
