After several days undertaking an in depth service of this lovely Rigoutat oboe I am pleased to post up both pictures and details .This lovely oboe has had a complete strip down , clean of both keywork and body plus oiling of wood inside and out.Several new springs have been replaced and some pads replaced ( I could have fully overhauled the Rigoutat with all new pads and offered for sale at twice the price as some would perhaps do ) but as pads are very serviceable I feel that is not warranted thus allowing the buyer to acquire a lovely oboe at a better price , I offer as is at the lower price shown .All adjustment corks and tenon corks are new , and keys adjusted to correct thickness.The oboe has original end caps for tenon corksAll the pads have been checked and any pads requiring attention have been replacedAll shafts have been cleaned and re oiled during assemblyThe instrument bears the serial number commencing Y which denotes manufacture around 1961 and is a superb excellent example of the quality known of RigoutatIt has been an immense pleasure to work with this beautiful oboe .included in the sale are two ( tuning rings) to facilitate accurate tuning to be placed inside the reed well avoiding space between reed and bore when reed retracted slightly (seemingly easily removed with the aid of a pull through ) these are in the original grease potthe oboe now also benefits from a brand new case and outer carrying bag I have read these oboes at time of manufacture were the equivalent level to the current Classic range Silver plating is lovely and The oboe has no cracks The price reflects the quality of this lovely Rigoutat and the numerous hours devoted to the intense in depth service the instrument has been subject to.Thank you for looking at this posting and for those kind enough to have been watching thank you for your patience .ABOUT THE SELLER.THIS INSTRUMENT HAS BEEN FULLY REFURBISHED BY MYSELF.
