Fox 300 Oboe W/ New ProTec Case--COA By Tip Top Oboes!

Description: Welcome to Ashantee Music!Matching Exceptional Students With Quality Instruments One of several intermediate and professional oboes we are offering for sale. This is a Fox Model 300 semi-professional oboe. It is in excellent condition: no chips, cracks, or bore damage, silver plate about 99% with little if any wear. We wanted to get this available in time for Christmas so did not do a full overhaul, but instead sent it to one of the best oboe specialists in the country: Nick Thompson at Tip Top Oboes (formerly of Onks Woodwind Specialists.) He did almost $400 worth of work to get it into excellent playing condition: replaced any needed pads and bumper materials, loosened or tightened keys as needed, cleaned, oiled, adjusted, Loctited adjustment screws, etc. Nick says it plays great, though I’d count on some very minor adjustments if we’re shipping it rather than you picking it up, as oboes seem to hate FedEx trucks, cold weather, and bumpy roads. Cork grease and key oil are for local pickup and will not be shipped, but it does include a reed, new ProTec microfiber cloth, reed cup and clamp, and a brand-new ProTec ProPak case in blue--which itself is more than $100! (We may also have this case in black and teal available, or a black Micro Zip if you’d rather.) The most recent version with the third octave key sells new for $6,690 at WWBW, so save more than $3,000, and snatch this one up just in time for Christmas!Ashantee Music is a family-owned store serving musicians of all levels for almost twenty years.

Photographs are considered a binding part of an item description.Shipping: Items are shipped after receipt and clearance of your payment. We try to ship far ahead of the handling time listed in the auction.

(1) If you are not satisfied with your purchase, please contact us PRIOR to initiating a return via eBay and allow us to address your concerns. Many items such as clarinets and oboes come out of adjustment during the shipping process, and can be easily tweaked by your local technician. We are happy to talk you through this process.

If on receipt we are able to verify the item to be significantly different than described, we will additionally refund original shipping, PayPal fees, and your return shipping to maximum of $30.00.
