Delphine SYMPHONIE Bell Specification

The DELPHINE by RIGOUTAT is an entry-level model from one of the three major oboe manufacturers.
The serial numbers on the upper and lower joints match.
It features the bell from the higher-end SYMPHONIE model.
Accessories include: a hard case from another manufacturer, and a joint cap for the lower joint (no cap for the upper joint).

I received this instrument about 4-5 years ago, but only had the chance to try it out a few times. Last summer, some pads were replaced, and it is now ready to play.
It has fewer keys and is lightweight, making it easy to produce sound. Thanks to the SYMPHONIE bell, it produces a good tone.
As shown in the photos, it has features like the low C#-H trill and left F, which make fingering less challenging. It also has a third octave key. High G was also achievable.
The intonation is average. (e.g., F# and G# tend to be a bit high) but it feels within controllable limits.
Made of grenadilla wood. No cracks are visible to the naked eye.

Thank you for all the likes. I accidentally deleted the listing while editing the price and have relisted it.

In my personal opinion, it's best for beginners to start with an instrument from a reputable manufacturer. RIGOUTAT is said to have the lowest failure rate. How about this for beginners or as an ensemble instrument?
