DescriptionA boxwood oboe with two silver keys for low C and E-flate. At one point -- originally, or later in time -- this instrument had four keys: there is evidence that an F key and a B-flat key, with their block mounts, were removed, and the areas around the tone holes patched with wood shaped to match the outer profile of the body.
