In the 19th century, the most famous oboe builders came from France: for instance, Henri Brod. He introduced his own innovations in both the design and playing style of the oboe and was one of the most famous performers, composers, and oboe makers in the history of the instrument. The oboe Brod designed, built, and played by at the end of his career is on view in this gallery.
