Description: Wichita Band Instrument Company, Inc. 2525 E Douglas Avenue Wichita, Kansas 67211 Normal 0 false false false EN-US X-NONE X-NONE EXTRA-CLEAN USA-MADE OBOE FROM FOX PRODUCTS COMPANY. Alan Fox’s Indiana workshop has produced high-quality double-reed instruments for more than seventy years; our Wichita company has been authorized dealers for his oboes and bassoons for more than a half century. The model “333” is their entry-level oboe, it’s basically the same instrument as the “300”, but with slightly simpler keywork. That means…. Yes, it does have one-three “forked F” for the right hand and also the “left-hand F” for the little finger left. But no third octave key (many pro-players say it’s not needed) and no articulated low B to C# trill. Strange, that one: I don’t know of any symphonic works that call for an oboe low B to C# trill. Bottom of the line is that it’s an “almost” pro model crack-free oboe that’s 100% American and also a BEST BUY. But wait! If you can find a really clean modern Fox oboe, that’s a BEST best buy. We sold this little jewel several years ago and it looks as if it’s been played only a few times since. Cork pads except for low Bb and B and they look new. Case and case-cover are perfect, there’s no wear to the silver-plate on the keys and it even still has the original factory guarantee card with it. In the meantime, our 24 month service-warranty IS good on this fine example. That means we fix anything that goes wrong with it for two years. After that, we’ll still do any necessary repairs for you but would, of course, bill you per our hourly repair rate. HAPPY TO SEND FOR YOU TO TRY IT! “On approval” is easy, usually for 5 days. IF for some reason you want to return it, we ask only that you pay UPS costs back to us plus the 3% credit-card / bank fees / Paypal commission that are billed to us but NOT refunded to us if you return the item. Top recommendation on this one! Woodwind questions? Yes, we’re always happy to hear from you! *** “ALL new and all used instruments sold by Wichita Band Instrument Company come with our 24 month service warranty. It’s in addition to any factory guarantees. For two full years, we will repair or replace (whichever in our estimation is the more advisable), pads, corks, springs or other parts required, at no charge to the customer. In the event of cracked or damaged wood sections, we will repair at no cost to the customer or replace the section and charge the customer only for our net costs for the replacement section. Often, wood replacement parts are supplied from the manufacturer at no charge. The customer is responsible for shipping and insurance charges. Cases and plating finishes are not covered by our service warranty but are sometimes covered by factory guarantees.” Wichita Band Instrument Company maintains a repair department capable of restoration work of the highest quality. Even though repairs are essentially “free” for the first two years, after that period has expired, we remain at your service to maintain and repair your musical equipment forever. It’s our “service after the sale” promise and has been since 1953! In the event that a customer requires service under factory guarantees or Wichita Band’s service warranty, the item must be returned to us and not directly to the manufacturer. * *** Ebay authorized payment methods:In January of 2023 our small workshop in Wichita will celebrate seventy years in business.
