Buffet Professional GreenLine Oboe

Professional oboe players will never worry about cracks again. A revolution in the history of woodwind instruments, the Buffet BC3613G oboe (The "Green Line") can be toured around the world and will withstand the extreme temperature changes associated with different climates. The "Green Line" is composed of 95% granulated Grenadilla wood, 5% polycarbonate fibre and a specially formulated epoxy resin. This mixture is heated at very high temperatures and formed into billets, which then follow the same manufacturing processes as the 100% Grenadilla wood BC-3613 model. The "Green Line" material has the same acoustic properties as natural wood and will not crack because there is no grain and is, therefore, not under pressure. The BC-3613G oboe has silver-plated keywork and a full conservatory system that includes low Bb, left F, third octave key, Bb vent, forked-F resonance, split ring D#-E trill, G#-A trill, articulated B-C# mechanism, banana key, and Bb-B trill. Metal-lined tenons, high Philadelphia D, and an adjustable thumbrest are standard. The upper joint has cork pads and the lower joint has GORE-TEX and cork pads. Comes with French case, cover, and accessories. 2-year crack and 1-year adjustment warranty included with purchase.
