Marigaux was a member of SML
(Strasser, Marigaux, Lemaire), founded in 1935. They gained renown for
acquiring Louis Lot in 1951. Jules Marigaux was born in 1883 and received
training at Buffet-Crampon where his father was “premier ouvrier” (foreman).
Presently, Marigaux continues to thrive as a highly regarded oboe manufacturer.
Our flute is not in playing
condition due to old pads, mechanism is in good shape, keys go up and down, plating
is excellent. The headjoint ring was removed and the tenon shortened about 4
mm. It comes in its original French case in good condition.
