Perce en ébonite

La perce du corps du haut est percée de manière à pouvoir y insérer et coller un fin tube en ébonite qui constituera la perce de l’instrument. L’ébonite est un excellent matériau pour les instruments à vent, qui a fait ses preuves sur nos becs Custom pour saxophones et clarinettes ainsi que sur nos fagotts. Cette grande connaissance de ce matériau a été reprise de la fabrication de nos fagotts et grâce à nos ingénieurs, elle a pu être appliquée avec succès sur nos hautbois tout en conservant la fiabilité et la chaleur de son du bois.

Joints

High bore precision and stability are essential in an oboe. The Duet+ model takes those characteristics to unprecedented levels, effectively compensating for the natural limitations of the granadilla wood used and achieving outstanding overall performance and reliability. An ebonite inner pipe that extends throughout the upper joint and a brass tenon contribute to strength as well as warm tone.

Tampons Straubinger

Chaque cheminée (à l’exception des cheminées en métal) est gainée d’une résine en polyoxyméthylène (POM), assurant un bouchage parfait et stable pour chacun des tampons. Dans le rare cas où le bois de la cheminée fendrait, le fait que la cheminée soit gainée, limitera au minimum les problèmes de fuite et de justesse.

Marquage

Le marquage spécifiant ""Modèle Duet+"" est gravée à l'arrière du corps du haut.

Reed Receiver (Solid Nickel Silver)

The reed receiver features a new design that has more volume and weight than current models, contributing to richer overall resonance. The socket has a slightly looser internal diameter that makes reed insertion easy.

Nouveau pavillon

The bell’s exterior contour, internal diameter, and flare have been carefully redesigned, and the bell ring omitted to create a new, thicker bell design. The new bell delivers a powerful tone that is rich in overtones, with a big, round quality that is suitable for symphonies.

Revised B Key Pad Cup

The B key pad cup has a significant influence on the overall tone of an oboe, and in this model has extra thickness while the slit has been located on the underside of the pad. This not only reduces C# noise, but also improves high-range playability and tone in general. The B-A# trill lever has been matched to the height of the B key for enhanced playability.

Philadelphia D Key Adjustment Screw

This adjustment screw allows fine adjustment of high D playability.

* A “Philadelphia D key” is linked to the low C key and allows adjustment of the D double ring key opening (in current models only the low C and E keys are linked with opening adjustment).

B Resonance Key

B resonance key has been included to improve the low B sound. The key can be disengaged via the adjustment screw if desired, but the mechanism is designed so that the resonance key always opens when the lowest Bb is played.

Forked F Resonance Key Adjustment Screw

This adjustment screw allows adjustment of the opening as well as complete disengagement of the auxiliary key if desired.

New Adjustable Thumb Rest

In addition to vertical adjustment, the angle of this thumb rest can be adjusted to achieve the most comfortable thumb fit and position. A strap ring is also included for optimum playing position, so the performer can concentrate more fully on the music.

New Tone Hole Design

Tone hole design has been completely reassessed and updated to provide ideal breath resistance and luxurious resonance. The revised tone holes also make conservatoire fingering easier.

Etui (YOB-830L)

Les musiciens se déplacent toujours avec de nombreux accessoires, anches et matériels pour les anches. Le nouvel étui est équipé d’une housse avec une grande poche de format A4 pouvant contenir verticalement une partition de format B4. La sangle de transport et la poignée offrent le choix entre un transport vertical ou horizontal.
