L'autbòi

Traditionally, the Autboi languedocien are played together with the Tamboures stirring drums at the fishermen's punt in Sète. This model is strongly reminiscent of historical baroque oboes. The three-part body is made of light-coloured boxwood. A light-coloured horn ring from South African cattle is worked into the top, bottom and funnel. The instrument has a large basson(?) mouthpiece. It has six front tone holes (no thumb hole) and a tuning hole below the tone holes, as well as a resonance hole in each side of the cup.
