Rigoutat

Rigoutat RIEC Student Oboe

The RIEC (abreviated from the first two letters of RIgoutat and ECole) is a full Conservatoire system student instrument complete with third octave key, left-hand ('long') F key, and the full complement of trill keys. Its nickel-silver keywork is heavily silver-plated for durabilty and beauty, and snugly fitted to the body of the instrument, which is made of 100% African Grenadilla wood.
All metal screws are made of stainless steel, to prevent corrosion. With its characteristic full and flexible tone quality, the RIEC is a very popular instrument amongst students and teachers in France and internationally.
