Durable Body, Exceptional Sound
The Model 300's plastic resin body provides stability and protection without sacrificing tone. Echoing the rich, nuanced sound of wood, this alternative material resonates with warmth and depth. Resilient to damage from temperature changes, drops, and humidity, the Model 300 thrives under the demands of an active performance schedule. A silver-plated bell ring adds brilliance to the instrument's rounded, balanced sound.
Precision Keywork Opens Endless Possibilities
Fox's expert craftspeople hand-assemble each oboe to the highest standards. The Model 300's full conservatory key system, including a left-hand F key, third octave key, and low B-flat vent key, provides oboists with comprehensive control. Trill keys for A-flat to B-flat, G-sharp to A, C to D, B to C-sharp, and low C to C-sharp enable advanced techniques and explore the instrument's extensive range. Silver-plated keys deliver a satisfying tactile experience and visual beauty.
Premium Accessories Complete the Package
The Model 300 comes with essential accessories for care and transport. A professional-quality hard case protects your investment during travel while a silk swab, reed case, and cork grease help keep the instrument in peak condition. Tenon caps help preserve tenon corks.
