A, 1881, -, #, 1882. O, 1900, -, #, 1901. Professional Pre- Loree CABART OBOE Serial # J1081 Wood. The oboe was manufactured in France, and the serial number is 71L15. I then only played it for a couple of months and I have not played it for about a year. Will the serial number tell me how old the oboe is? Re: F Loree`s serial numbers 00:20. The Marigaux M2 oboe required several years of research and resulted in the filing of international patents. All the Marigaux know-how is in this oboe. Personalised instrument with individual choice of head-joints. This is particularly well documented when it comes to Loree oboes and Heckel bassoons. For Loree oboes, each serial number has two letters and two numbers; for example, my Loree's serial number is OC66. The numbers have been assigned sequentially over time, so letters earlier in the alphabet indicate older instruments. Over 100 company's databases containing dates of manufacture of musical instruments. Loree oboes have truly thin walls, thus a truly 'bright' sound. Best left to collectors. LOREE - The most famous maker of all, founded 1881. For chronological chart of serial numbers see Lars Kirmser serial number pages.

F. Lorée was established in 1881 by François Lorée when he left his position as chef d'atelier for the well-established French oboe maker Frédéric Triébert.[2]
The firm of Triebert, which was the dominant oboe-making concern in mid-19th century France, fell to pieces with the death of sole proprietor Frédéric Triebert in 1879. By 1882 it had changed management thrice and was eventually sold to the mass-maker Gautrot, itself purchased in 1884 by Couesnon.
Frédéric Triebert’s last foreman, François Lorée (1835-1902), formed his own oboe making company in 1881, carrying on Triebert’s work and tradition. Acquiring the contract for supplying oboes to the Paris Conservatory in 1882, François Lorée limited his atelier to making oboes and English horns. There is ample reason to believe that the professor of oboe at the Paris Conservatoire, Georges Gillet, encouraged Lorée to set up his own shop. The facts that Lorée acquired the Conservatoire contract before making a single oboe under his own name and that he collaborated with Gillet on the System 6 oboe, suggest such a plan.

Until the mid-20th century, François Lorée was almost without rival as a maker of artist-quality French oboes. In 1906, working with Georges Gillet, François’ son Adolphe Lucien Lorée modified the System 6 oboe to the 6bis (plateau) oboe that is almost universally used today. Even now Lorée remains the dominant French oboe maker. The overwhelming influence of French conservatory-trained oboists in American orchestras of the 1900s led to Lorée’s dominating the American market for most of that century; rare indeed is the American oboist who has not owned a Loree oboe.
Further details of the Loree-Triebert relationship are in an article by Robert Howe.[3] The study on Triebert by Tula Giannini, PhD musicologist, sheds light on his workshop and personal life.[4]
