Black oboe after Richter's (1710)

This oboe was entirely handcrafted by Olivier Cottet after Richter's (1710). It is made from ebony wood; the keys of the instrument and the fine decorations are made from silver and ivory. The oboe was made in the old traditional way with the use of a wood lathe. The keys and decorations were all crafted by hand.
