Description: | Oboe, dark brown wood, German silver keys and mounts, metal lined joints. Triébert's thumb-plate action. Two non-automatic octave keys. Spectacle key for right hand. Similar to Triébert's système 5, with low B flat. Two shake (trill) keys. Twin holes for III. Sounding length (length overall) is 58.4 cm. Wood is faded on face by exposure to light. Stamped: Triébert Paris (Tower mark, Breveté).
The thumb-plate system, which gives the left-hand thumb main control of the action, was invented by Triébert in 1849. It is still favoured today by the majority of oboe players in Britain.
