Sayen Grenadilla Model 880
Designed to produce the richest and darkest sound of all Fox oboes while still offering exceptional response and intonation, the Sayen Model 880 has a larger body than traditional oboes. Trimmed in gold with fine silver keys and the most select hand-finished grenadilla wood, this oboe exemplifies the beauty and tradition of American craftsmanship.
Sayen Maple Model 880
Made of select maple with the same thick wall design as the original Sayen oboe, the Sayen Maple Model 880 combines the beauty and sustainability of maple without compromising tone or intonation. The maple body makes for an oboe that is 16% lighter than its grenadilla counterpart while adding a complexity of tone that both blends well in woodwind sections and projects well as a solo instrument.
