Dear Midwest, I just received my oboe and English horn back from you all in the mail, and of course couldn’t wait to get some reeds out and play them. All I can say over and over is, THANK YOU… so very much. In all of my years of playing the oboe, I have never dropped an instrument and so you can imagine that when this happened after work one night I was more than a little bit freaked out. I had been needing to send my oboe somewhere for a long time, but always have a difficult time deciding when is an appropriate time to do so as I need it for work year round. I am so happy that I made the choice to send my instruments to you, and though it is a bit of a trek for them to go between Las Vegas and Minneapolis, I know that I can depend on you from now on! Thanks so much, I can’t wait to get back to working with this great instruments!
