[Features]
Marigot Strasser 701.The Strasser series was once often described as a "student model for students," but the current Strasser isNewWith its price exceeding 1 million yen, it can no longer be categorized as an entry-level model.
The Strasser series inherits the design philosophy of Marigaux's higher-end models, while being developed for a wider range of players. Its appeal lies in Marigaux's characteristic soft, full tone, well-balanced playability, and excellent intonation and playability.
This particular model is the older 701, produced before production ceased in the late 1990s.
The current revived 701 model omits the D key double ring, also known as the D key, to reduce costs.♯- In addition to the E trill mechanism, it also features a metal ring at the tip of the bell.
The exterior shows signs of wear commensurate with its age, including some lifting and peeling of the plating on some keys and key pipes, and wear on the manufacturer's gold lettering. However, there is no history of crack repairs, and all 20 pads, key corks, and connecting corks have been replaced. All parts related to playing are in excellent condition.
This oboe is perfect for those taking their first serious oboe, and it's also easy to handle for those participating in school clubs or ensembles, or those returning to playing after a long break.
