Finding the right Oboe for a student is an important step
An oboe can help an oboist grow and excel – and it can also hold a student back. Consult an expert! Carlos Coelho gives personalized guidance about choosing an oboe for your student. He has worked with many teachers, parents, and students over the years, and has proven to be a valuable resource. He can help you to spend your money wisely and fuel your oboe student’s potential.
Founded in 1893, the Cabart Brand became part of the Lorée Family in 1974. Today, Cabart is the stamp of well-made student oboes.
A Cabart Oboe is a perfect instrument for a student who desires the quality of a Lorée Oboe, yet is more cautious about the price.
These student models are made with the same attention to detail, material and craftsmanship as the more expensive professional-level Lorée Oboes.
Because of their high manufacturing standards, combined with precise tuning, Cabart is a great choice for any student.
