Laubin oboes are known for their incredible handmade quality, beautiful sound, and legendary reliability. I was very fortunate to receive a new rosewood oboe in August of 2023. The instrument is a true beauty. I could not be happier.While you may have to wait some time to receive a new instrument from A.Laubin, they are worth the wait! get your name on the list now.They have expanded their inventory of used Laubin and Barre oboes, so if you are looking for a great instrument, and are in a hurry or on a budget, they have a lot of options at different price-points.A.Laubin is worth contacting if you are serious about having a great oboe from a iconic maker. The shop is very friendly and welcoming, and customer service is superb.Also, if you play any brand of English horn or oboe d'amore, please be sure to try their bocals.

Since I began my professional career 50 years ago, I would not play on anything but a Laubin. No matter which - grenadilla, rosewood or cocobolo - they are magnificent instruments. I’ve used all 3 in my orchestral life. It is the only oboe I could ever, in good conscience, recommend. I have seen a vast variety of other makers’ instruments through my teaching years as students come to audition/study and have not seen any single instrument that I would’ve preferred over any of my Laubins. Tone, response, scale, workmanship, all with amazing consistency. They are simply the best. Thank you to the Laubin family and all others who have, over the years, been part of this remarkable artistic company.

The best oboes, great service, and personal communication!

The most wonderful oboes in the world. Laubin is the only oboe I have played for the last 35 years.

I had been told by several local repair shops that my Oboe was not worth repair. I have a 1970's Laubin. I contacted Laubin to see if they had any used instruments, and ended up sending them mine. They completely overhauled it. That was 5 yrs ago. I'm still loving my first and only oboe. THANKS for such a wonderful instrument.

Had dinner here last week and it was outstanding. Had the new salmon dish and it was fabulous. Lots of interesting vegetables were served with it. Appetizer and desserts were outstanding. The lemon cloud cheesecake was delicious.

Zeph's is a small restaurant with amazing food. We were nicely surprised to eat at this restaurant and can only highly recommend the place.

Interesting farm to table food. Great chef & great service

Always Wonderful. We took the Summer off from Zeph's to take advantage of the Hudson Valley outdoor dining experience and returned to once again enjoy the total escape that Zeph's is. From the eclectic furnishings to the totally creative menu dining here, and I do mean dining, is wonderful. The Staff is very attentive and and you feel completely unhurried. I don't have a sufficient vocabulary to describe how Vicky creates the incredibly delicious treats that arrive from her kitchen. Please try the Duck! We are back and like a long lost friend are delighted to see Zeph's once more.
We go here for s special occasion with friends. Quaint atmosphere and good food. A little pricey.

Outstanding fresh food. Ask what is local and recommended. You won't regret it. Decor a bit dated, but don't let that deter you.
Maker of the finest oboes in the world! (IMHO)
