For Loree oboes, each serial number has two letters and two numbers; for example, my Loree's serial number is OC66. AK Bore This used Loree Rosewood oboe is the AK bore model. Over the years much talk has been generated on the subject of 'blown out oboes' (see IDRS digest archives on this topic).

So, two Loree oboes exist with a 'DD' at the beginning of the serial number stamp, though the later (modern) DD oboe will most likely have TWO numbers after the DD, such as: DD05. The keywork patterns of the oboes from the 1910s and the modern series - distinctly different. The oboe in the photographs is a THUMBPLATE system only.

F Loree serial number digits only

Hello.
This is my first post here. I have a Loree oboe which looks very old. The outside diameter is much lower than modern oboes. I understand that Loree serial numbers have two letters followed by two numbers. My oboe’s serial number is just 90. I don’t see any letters before the number.
Did Loree ever have serial numbers that were only digits?
I also read here or elsewhere that the letters are engraved shallower compared to the number and can get worn out.
Also, the number is not in the usual place. It is under the key in the lower front part of the lower joint and also on the bell under the keyword.
Any clue? I have also read about fake loree but they also had two letter I believe.
Thanks!
