The customs guy asked me why I didn't play a German oboe after looking in the case.

Ha! That's pretty funny that the Customs guy knew enough about instruments - esp. oboes - to know the difference in workmanship and style. :-)

Yeah. Actually, I did try some Miraphone oboes. They were nice, but not as nice as the Rigoutat I ended up buying.
