Baroque Oboe
The most special of all of my instruments, since it’s one I made myself! When I’m not on tour with GreenMatthews, I prepare and fit silver keys to wooden flutes made by our friend Tony Millyard. Tony also makes a baroque oboe which plays at A440 (modern tuning) and so I was able to go down to his workshop a few times over the course of 2017/18 and make one under his guidance. The baroque oboe is the linking instrument between the shawm and the modern oboe.
