Description

Welcome to Ashantee Music!
Matching Exceptional Students With Quality Instruments
Fox Renard Protégé Model 333 oboe for sale!
This is an exceptional, intermediate instruments with a few more keys than a typical beginner oboe, including the low Bb, F-resonance key, and the all-important Left F, which is missing on most of the 333’s you may be looking at.
It is in exceptional condition:
plating about 100% with no noticeable wear at all, no cracks or bore damage.
We decided not to do a full overhaul (and increase the price accordingly) because the pads on this are already in excellent condition, and you probably just put half your oboe budget into your home heating fuel for the winter.
We did regulate it and bring it up into good playing condition, with the caveat that oboes hate FedEx trucks and bumpy roads, and often need minor tweaking after shipping.
Includes both upper and lower silk swabs and two reeds.
Cork grease is for local pickup only.
Hard case in excellent condition.
Sells new for ,800, so snatch this one up, and save more than ,000!

Purchases:
We strive to be accurate and detailed in our descriptions.  If you have any questions or concerns about a listing, please ask questions prior to bidding.  Photographs are considered a binding part of an item description.
Shipping:
Items are shipped after receipt and clearance of your payment.  We try to ship far ahead of the handling time listed in the auction.  Note that with international shipping, not all countries provide door-to-door tracking; therefore, buyer assumes full liability for item after leaving the United States.
Returns:
We have zero unhappy customers, and we have offered hassle-free returns for almost twenty years.  Unfortunately, due to rampant abuse of eBay's automated returns, and since PayPal no longer refunds sales fees, we have had to revise our return policy.  (1) If you are not satisfied with your purchase, please contact us PRIOR to initiating a return via eBay and allow us to address your concerns.  Many items such as clarinets and oboes come out of adjustment during the shipping process, and can be easily tweaked by your local technician.  We are happy to talk you through this process.  (2) Items may be returned for any reason at your expense within seven days of receipt for a full refund of the purchase price less shipping and eBay fees, which are not refundable. If on receipt we are able to verify the item to be significantly different than described, we will additionally refund original shipping, PayPal fees, and your return shipping to maximum of .00.
Non-paying Bidders:
We reserve the right to relist or otherwise dispose of any item if payment is not received with three days of the auction close.
