Oboes have gotten too expensive for many people to own. Student oboes, stripped of proper mechanisms and options commonly go in the $1500+ range brand new and have very little re-sale value while offering a new student an instrument that lacks fundamental key mechanisms that all students should have. Furthermore, intermediate oboes have now crossed typically into the $3,000 price range from most brands which makes it very hard to get a good instrument for advancing players without investing a small fortune.

Our new Kessler Custom oboe was designed with this purpose in mind: offer a great playing, low cost oboe with the key mechanisms of full professional oboes 3 times the price. Our Kessler Custom Oboe is exactly what players, parents & teachers have been waiting for!

Featuring an advanced professional bore (inspired by Marigaux bore designs) as well as a new Grenadilla/Nylon composite material for wood-like tonal performance but without the risk of cracking. We use a true full conservatory key system which includes the left hand F, low Bb with vent, triple octave key, banana trill (low D-C), G#-A trill, articulated C# and a full ring system D key.

If you are in need of a great oboe but simply cannot afford the $3,000+ range, then our Kessler Custom oboe is exactly what you have been looking for!
