JP181 MKII Oboe
Our Description
Still the triumph of these instruments is that they really ring. The natural sound of them encourages a warm tone and the scale is even and smooth. They slur all the awkward intervals effortlessly and feel nicely stable.
The padding is now much more akin to that of an intermediate instrument with white leather pads on the low notes. These will give a better seal, are less noisy and will cause less trouble over time. The cork pads are thinner and less spongy and keywork has been vastly improved. The mechanism is now much neater and stronger with sensibly placed adjusting screws that don't require a screwdriver with the width of a leprechaun's finger nail and the leverage of a pickax to adjust, as some other makers of student instruments do... The 181 also seem to be up to pitch now where previously they were a little low.
