1997 Fox Renard Artist 330 Oboe--Serviced & Ready

One of several intermediate and professional oboes we are offering for sale. This is a Fox Renard 330 Artist Model. S/n 140XX makes it 1997. It is in excellent condition:  no chips, cracks, or bore damage, silver plating is about 99% with little if any wear at all. Includes many keys not found on beginner and some intermediate oboes:  articulated C#, C# trill, low Bb, F-resonance key, and the all-important left F key. While we usually overhaul all our oboes, the pads were in such excellent condition that we felt the need to replace only the bladder pads and lower tenon cork, and regulated it into exceptional playing condition. Plays very easily with a light touch to the keywork across the entire instrument. Key oil and cork grease are for local pickup only and will not be shipped, but it does include a new silk swab and a new ProTec microfiber cloth. All in a brand-new ProTec microzip case which is perfect for backpacks, lockers and purses. The newest version of the 330 sells new at the "discount" M&A for $4,870, so snatch this one up before the Christmas rush and save more than $2,500!
