FOX MODEL 300 PRO FULL CONSERVATORY RESIN OBOE LEFT HAND F THIRD OCTAVE KEY

Description

Up for auction is a 2006 Fox model 300 professional full conservatory resin oboe with left hand F, third octave key and low Bb key.  All keys move freely and the pads are in good condition. This oboe has been kept in excellent condition from very light use. It was only played for 3 years since 2006 so the plating is all intact and the pads look great. There are no cracks or repairs and no bore issues.
Fox oboes have a great reputation. Their outstanding craftsmanship and meticulous care make Fox oboes the choice of students, teachers, and professionals alike. The Fox 300 features the same key work and bore design as the model 400 wood oboe but with a body built of durable resin plastic that is not as sensitive to temperature change and moisture.
The serial number is in the 250xx range to confirm that it is a 2006 oboe. Included is a gently used faux leather case with velvet interior and a protective canvas cover, a reed case, screwdriver, cork balm, and cleaning cloth. The following is the manufacturer's description:
