Oboe overhaul and repair

When overhauling your oboe you have the choice of different pads, we have a standard pad, but for an additional fee we also offer a fleece or cork pad. In consultation with your salesperson or repairman, you can indicate your preference before handing over your instrument for overhaul. During overhaul, your instrument is polished and lubricated so that it runs smoothly again.

The oboe is a delicate and complex instrument. Professional maintenance ensures optimal playability, excellent sound, and a longer instrument lifespan.
