Over the past 25 years Lorée instruments have offered me help, guidance, strength, and flexibility to expand my musical ideas, push my boundaries, and find my own voice. I am very grateful!

This is particularly well documented when it comes to Loree oboes and Heckel bassoons. For Loree oboes, each serial number has two letters and two numbers; for example, my Loree's serial number is OC66. The numbers have been assigned sequentially over time, so letters earlier in the alphabet indicate older instruments. Oboe – Line 900 The Marigaux 900 is the most popular oboe in many orchestras worldwide. The very heart and essence of Marigaux manufacture, the original sound according to Mr Jules Marigaux’s standard. Over 100 company's databases containing dates of manufacture of musical instruments.

Performing on Lorée has made my artistic and professional life so rewarding. With all the variables inherent in playing the oboe, we have to be able to trust our instrument if nothing else! And I trust Lorée. We are so lucky to have this family of innovative perfectionists making the best oboes in the world and who support and encourage the artists that play on them.
Dwight ParryPrincipal oboe of the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra
F.Lorée instruments enable me to be the best musician I can be. I feel there’s so many colours to be found, I can be flexible, create ‘my’ sound and take musical risks, safe in the knowledge my instruments won’t limit me or let me down.

Pourquoi jouer depuis 30 ans les instruments F.Lorée ?
Si les qualités de finition et de fiabilité mécanique sont de par le monde unanimement reconnues et partagées par mes hautbois, hautbois d'amour et cor anglais, le musicien profite au quotidien de la fluidité, justesse parfaite sur toute la tessiture, richesse harmonique et surtout de la capacité des instruments F.Lorée à s'accorder au cœur et à l'âme du musicien, à se plier à ses moindres exigences sans lui imposer un son stéréotypé ou standardisé. Ces atouts forment un ensemble qui détermine au plus haut point le choix de l'artiste.

Lorée's craftsmanship, knowledge, and legacy in the instrument making world is legendary. Their instruments have a vast color palette with the unique ability to allow the individuality of each musician to shine through. They enable me to play the variety of repertoire that I enjoy and inspire me on a daily basis! Thank you for all the wonderful instruments over the years!
Nathan HughesPrincipal Oboe of the Metropolitan Opera of New York, Oboe Faculty at The Juilliard School
As a performer I am in need of extremes, in dynamics, in range, in expressivity, in colors, and I need an oboe which can deliver all of this and much more, instantly, without the need to bend my technique or my reeds to it. Throughout my entire career I have been blessed by playing Lorée oboes providing all the support I needed for my musical and technical demands. Lorées are 'Strads', they are instruments which invite me to reach higher and better.
Alex KleinPrincipal oboe of the Calgary Philharmonic Orchestra, Professor at DePaul University in Chicago
I would like to thank the Lorée company for making such great instruments that allow me to express myself the best way possible!
Dmitry MalkinEnglish horn of the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra
There is only one oboe which gives me the flexibility to express music in the way I envision, to color and shape the sound, and ultimately to allow me to sound like myself: Lorée.
Frank RosenweinPrincipal oboe of the Cleveland Orchestra
Since there are so many fine oboes being made today by a number of manufacturers, I am often asked 'why do YOU CHOOSE to play the F.Lorée oboe?'. My answer is simple: 'tone quality and intonation'. In addition, I am pleased with the extraordinary balance between stability and flexibility found in the oboes made by the de Gourdon Family.
Richard KillmerProfessor of Oboe, Eastman School of Music
I have been playing Lorees my entire career! I love the range of colors and the simultaneously sweet and dark sound. It offers an ideal balance between flexibility and stability. My Loree is the ultimate creative tool- I feel like I can do anything!
Mary LynchPrincipal Oboe of the Seattle Symphony

I am proud to play Lorée oboes since 1972 and always appreciate the care with which they craft each individual instrument, as well as the dedication they show their customers. My Royal oboes are flexible, resonant, and colorful, with great intonation and keywork that allows me to play the most difficult technical passages with ease and fluidity. Thank you, Lorée, for your artistry and craftsmanship!
