Mirafone Hans Kreul Professional Wood Oboe SN 31226 FRESH OVERHAUL

Description: Mirafone Hans Kreul Professional Wood Oboe SN 31226 FRESH OVERHAUL PRODUCT DESCRIPTION Kreul oboes were the most significant oboes made in Germany during the second half of the twentieth century. In the 1990s the Kreul company, after mergers with Marigaux and Uebel, became the largest producer of oboes in the world. During fifty years of manufacturing, Kreul oboes reached nearly all corners of the world. Many of the exported Kreul instruments were not labeled with the name Kreul, but the name of the purchaser or dealer, for which the instruments were made (e.g. Mirafone); this was common practice during these years. This is why hardly anyone recognizes the name Kreul in the United States, even though thousands of Kreul oboes were imported. These “re-labeled” instruments would sometimes undergo final adjustments and modifications by the purchaser or dealer. The Mirafone oboes were in fact made by Hans Kreul II in Tübingen, Germany. By the mid 1960s the Kreuls were exporting hundreds of oboes a year to the United States with the name Mirafone stamped on them. The Miraphone/Kreul relationship lasted about three decades, until Mirafone was sold to two of its employees in the early 1980s. Don't miss this chance to own a highly professional oboe, and piece of history, for a highly affordable price! This one in excellent condition. There are no cracks in the wood, and it looks very nice. This oboe has just had a complete overhaul (all new pads and corks) by our double reed specialist and is ready to play.
