PROFESSIONAL OBOE
Maple Sayen Model 880
Made of select maple with the same thick wall design as the original Sayen oboe, the Sayen Maple Model 880 combines the beauty and sustainability of maple without compromising tone or intonation. The maple body makes the oboe 16% lighter than its grenadilla counterpart, while the fully lined upper and lower joints make it less susceptible to cracking. Maple adds a complexity of tone that both blends well in woodwind sections and projects well as a solo instrument.
