L'autbòi

Contact the institution

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.
