Oboe D'amore - Modern Instruments

Modern Instruments

Modern makers of oboes d'amore include Howarth of London (instruments in African Blackwood or Cocobolo wood), F. Lorée in Paris (instruments in African Blackwood or Violet wood) and others such as French makers Rigoutat, Fossati and Marigaux. New instruments cost around £6,500 at 2008 prices, comparable to the cost of a new cor anglais. This cost, coupled with the limited call for the instrument, leads many oboists not to possess their own oboe d'amore, but to rent one when their work dictates the need.

Famous quotes containing the words modern and/or instruments:

    It is unheard-of, uncivilized barbarism that any woman should still be forced to bear such monstrous torture. It should be remedied. It should be stopped. It is simply absurd that, with our modern science, painless childbirth does not exist as a matter of course.... I tremble with indignation when I think of ... the unspeakable egotism and blindness of men of science who permit such atrocities when they can be remedied.
    Isadora Duncan (1878–1927)

    Fashionable women regard themselves, and are regarded by men, as pretty toys or as mere instruments of pleasure; and the vacuity of mind, the heartlessness, the frivolity which is the necessary result of this false and debasing estimate of women, can only be fully understood by those who have mingled in the folly and wickedness of fashionable life ...
    Sarah M. Grimke (1792–1873)
