My Oboes and Bassoons

This isn't a great pic, but it's my Kohlert & Co. bassoon.

Hans Kreul oboe.

This is my "new" English horn (c.1900). It's a "military" system by V. Kohlert Sohne...made in Graslitz, Bohemia. This pic is pre-restoration.

Another view of my V. Kohlert and Sohne English horn.

This is an interesting cousin of the oboe. It is a Musette....basically a small oboe. This one happens to be key-less, but they can be found with various amounts of keys. This one is marked "W. Madelaine, Maker, Old Kent Rd., London" and is made of rosewood. Made around 1880 I think.
