Guntram Wolf children oboe model F2
French oboe in C with child-friendly
conservatory action, semi-automatic, maple, rubber lined
The model F2 / F2A is the further development of the model F 1 with more advanced action.
Weight:
This oboe model is also much lighter and more resistant to cracking than comparable oboes made of tropical woods due to the maple wood used with natural rubber lining.
Bore:
We have developed a bore that gives our oboes an unusually light, free response - even in the lower register - and where the octaves are right!
Mechanics:
The simplified conservatory system with fully covered tone holes is tightened especially for small hands, and in this model it is extended by the following keys - compared to the F1 model:
B-flat key
left E-flat key articulated (= coupled with C key)
left F key
3rd octave key
The complete action is high gloss silver plated.
Playing characteristics:
The oboe exhibits a round, blendable sound and has an easy response in all registers, especially in the low register.
Other plus points are the exact tuning and clean octaves.
It is played with normal French oboe reeds - but even when using very light, child-scraped reeds, the playing characteristics are maintained.
