LORÉE COR ANGLAIS / ENGLISH HORN BELL
COR ANGLAIS / ENGLISH HORN
and Oboe d'Amore
Selected in person and used professionally
In the design of recent years, including a vent for low-B (optional: this need not be connected for older instruments; the pad remains closed). When exchanged for that of an earlier instrument, this bell can hugely enhance sonority and presence. Rewardingly resonant, with a beautiful swirl in the grain. Used professionally in the recording studios and in top London orchestras.
Preserves or refines intonation around Middle E and F.

Oboe d'Amore crook / bocal: Howarth #3
Not the recent heavy XL model with a stepped tip, but a 'standard' version that proves remarkably vibrant and stable, and greatly improves my older Marigaux model. Currently it's over-wound with waxed thread, since Howarth sockets (and corks) are narrower than most. This can of course be adjusted to taste, or finally replaced simply with cork. Maybe one-half of the new price from the Howarth website.
