Oboe - WANTED-Bulgheroni Artist (or similar)

There are no pictures available for this oboe

After years of economic hardship, I made the nearly impossible decision to see my Bulgheroni. I loved this oboe, with its dark sound and responsive keywork. Although I am not yet in a position to run out and buy a new one, I may be able to afford a used one if the price is right. I will also look at other horns (no plastic, please, minimum modified conservatory system, and I won't look at Selmers, Signets, Bundys, Kohlerts, or Amatis). Resale is not important to me; good working order, dark sound, wood (grenadilla/ebony/rosewood), and price is.

If you have a horn that fits these requirements, and which you'd be willing to part with for under $900, please let me know. I realize that $900 isn't a great price, but I don't have a great job. What I do have is a great desire to give a beautiful horn a loving horn where it will be played, cared for, and admired.

Thank you so much.
