However, I did find one example at the 2011 IDRS convention that I liked. The 'composite' Buffet Greenline 3613 is, in my estimation, an unabashed 'reed trumpet,' extremely 'brassy' sounding, lacking subtlety altogether. Lacking in the complexity, 'character' department. Also, the 'natural C' touch seems far too tiny to be of much use.The most recent wood professional model 3613 oboes tend to be excellent. Different bore from the 'Orfeo' Lacking left C# - in my estimation an oboe with this level of mechanical sophistication should truly have a left C# key. Has solid metal tenon on upper joint composite material- cracking (rare) still possible 'Virtuoso' Composite or wood.
