![]() I got to try four different oboes with my oboe teacher Amanda in the New Mexico Philharmonic Orchestra. I am so great full that I found out about Hannah, she was very helpful and patient with me and my mom on paying for the oboe because it’s expensive for an oboe or any instrument but thankfully we got it and also got help from HeartbeatMusicProject. I highly recommend Hannah’s Oboes and would have no problem recommending her to my friends in the oboe community. I was very much pleased with the service provided by Hannah and I love the EH/bocal combination that I selected. She was attentive, thoughtful, and helpful as she answered my questions. I called Hannah several times during the trail period. Also included with the trial instruments was a complimentary goodie bag of items to enhance the experience. No one had such a large number of instruments available for testing. With so many combinations to try, I needed more than the one week trail, which Hannah granted. She also sent 13 trial bocals from several manufacturers in different sizes. It can take as long as 6- 8 hours for an instrument to come up to an acceptable playing temperature. Hannah provides specific instructions on when to open the shipping case and when it is best to play test the instruments. My advice is to get 3 instruments at the same time. I selected 2 instruments and then later an additional instrument. After explaining my needs and my price range, Hannah emailed me a list of instruments that she had in stock accompanied with information about each instrument. When I called, she actually picked up the phone. I recently purchased an English Horn and bocal from Hannah’s Oboes. Hannah is wonderful to work with for parents, pros, teachers and everyone in between. The makers all produce excellent oboes….in this case, Fox (1) Yamaha (1)and Howarth (2). I will let them all acclimate for the day and then thoroughly enjoy auditioning these lovely intermediate instrument sand hopefully discover the oboe that will guide this young lady through her middle and early high school years with the instrument that allows her to play her best….always. For a young person or even a seasoned musician….this is like Christmas and a feast for the eyes. The trial oboes have arrived, beautifully and securely packed and include everything a young person could want in accessories. I am trying the instruments and selecting one for her and Hannah’s service is exceptional as always. Having purchased several oboes and an English Horn from Hannah before, I recommended her services immediately to friends whose own daughter is a young student entering 7th Grade and who is more than ready to haver her own instrument. Thank you Hannah for helping to support our son in his music journey at school. She will guide your through the process all of the way. We highly recommend making a quality instrument purchase from Hannah. Hannah is friendly, professional and well organized! She was great with our son when he was sight reading for her, and her knowledge and passion of the oboe is obvious and shines. We were fortunate to find Hannah online and we contacted Hannah and my son and husband were able to meet Hannah at her studio to try several different oboes to select one for purchase. When I inquired at the chain store about purchase of an intermediate oboe none of the staff at the store had knowledge of the oboe instrument! I knew we needed to look elsewhere to find someone who truly understands and represents the unique attributes of the oboe. We had been renting a beginner oboe through one of the national music instrument chain stores. Our family just purchased a beautiful, high quality Howarth oboe from Hannah for our teenage son who is entering high school band.
