Paul Laubin: Oboe Maker

Uploaded to preserve the memory of Paul Laubin (1932-2021)

This documentary from 2003 is a rare glimpse into the process of making and building a handmade Laubin oboe.

Testimony and playing examples are provided by Sherry Sylar (Associate Principal Oboe of the New York Philharmonic) and Tom Stacy (retired Solo English Horn on the New York Philharmonic)

After Paul's passing, the legacy of Laubin oboes continues with his son, Alex, who has restarted production with a small, dedicated team. For more information about Laubin oboes please visit www.alaubin.com

I do not own the copyright for this video. This video was recently converted from its original VHS format to digital, hence the low quality video/audio in places.
