The Fox Model 800 is a standard-size professional wood oboe. Through dimensional changes in the bore and tone holes, this oboe provides a bigger sound with more resonance, fullness, and projection than its predecessor, the Fox Model 400. It offers advanced players the breadth and complexity of tone required for orchestral playing.
