On croirait pas que ce soit du Mozart. Une très belle sonate qui convient très bien au hautbois. Bravo et merci

[@YCATrust]

Absolutely wonderful! Bravo Olivier and Jonathan!

Sounds great! What kind of oboe is this and what does the extra key by the left thumb control?

[@assreductionist8575]

Looks like a Marigaux 2001. The extra keywork could be an added English thumb plate system. Some UK players get non-UK instruments (which originally have conservatoire systems) and costumize them so that they have a mix of both systems. This enables them to continue playing the fingerings they were taught growing up, but on brands and models with different acoustic qualities. Releasing the thumb plate should have the same effect as pressing down the right hand index finger to play C and Bb on a conservatoire system. This allows for a C with a more open, singing sound and cleaner slurs for some intervals, while making others more difficult.

@@assreductionist8575 very interesting answer, thank you

[@ianlowery6014]

@@assreductionist8575 I got a thumbplate added to a conservatoire. I found the open C on the thumbplate too bright, but the Bb on the conservatoire was dull compared to the thumbplate. So for normal passage work I used the conservatoire C and the thumbplate Bb. The thumbplate C was useful in fast passage work, and the thumbplate was very good with passages involving reiterated Cs, Bs, Bbs, and As.
