I am pleased to be able to offer baroque oboes and flutes made by the well known maker John Wickes. John has been making instruments for over half a century and brings a wealth of skill and knowledge to the process.
Instruments are made in African Blackwood which although not available to the original makers John regards as the finest material for woodwind manufacture. Instruments are of course available in more traditional wood if required ( i.e. Boxwood etc).
Because instruments are directly from the maker they can be offered at very competitive prices and being completely hand made are limited in supply.
Wooden flute head joints also available
