One of Europe's finest professional oboes.
Gerard Fossati believes that musicians have to be at the core of his thoughts in the process of instrument making. This is why he works hand-in-hand with many of the world's leading players. From Brazil to Russia or from Japan to the USA, Gerard Fossati does not hesitate to travel the world to meet them. Each country has its own particularities. Each musician is different and has his own morphology, his own way to gouge and shape the reeds. Taking into account these parameters is essential to renew the instrument making tradition.
All of these meetings have allowed Fossati develop a complete range of instruments (oboes, english horns, oboes d'amore and bass oboes). Each of the instruments is tested by professional musicians, including Michel Benet, who is Oboe principal at Orchestre de Paris, tunes the Artiste model. When you take delivery of your Fossati Artiste, this is the kind of professional attention it has received, assuring its quality, intonation and reliability. Today around 20 people make more than 700 instruments a year in the Fossati factory based in Montargis (South of Paris).
Order now, and receive an instrument you will treasure for a lifetime.
