R. Dupin Le Temeraire Grenadilla/Cocobolo Oboe

I am selling my beautiful wooden grenadilla/cocobolo Dupin oboe. This instrument has recently come back from a major service with the Dupin factory in Luxembourg in February 2025 and has barely been played since. Service involved fixing a crack under the G sharp key and adjusting the bell socket. Playing better than ever before! Rich and agile tone, the instrument itself is on the resistant side but with a lighter reed can sing in the second octave. Selling as it deserves to be played and requires too different a reed setup from my current primary instrument.

Manufactured in 2019, bought second hand in 2022 from Musik Spiri and played on professionally for three years. I am than happy to hop on a zoom call or send you any recordings you’d like as well as discuss the best reed setup for this instrument. Recording of this instrument being played can be found here:
