"Hannah, Thank You! Marcella." Alaska, November, 2009.
"Hi Hannah, We received the oboe, thank you, it is beautiful and Emily loves it. Thank you, Joanna." New Jersey, November, 2009.
"Ms. Selznick. I have fallen in love with the oboe we purchased from you over the summer! I'm still trying to find reeds that work well with this new instrument. If you know of any people that make and sell reeds, please let me know. Thank you, Emi." Arizona, November, 2009.
"Hannah, Thank you for the oboe. It looks really nice, but I never played a horn instrument. I played piano. :)
I have been informed that the oboe was approved by Hannah's oboe teacher. Once again-pleasure doing business with you. God Bless. Ann." Michigan, November, 2009.
"Hannah, I like the Fox 450 very much, as does my teacher, Peggy Grant, of the University of Cincinnati Conservatory of Music Preparatory School. I now consider myself an official "oboeista," and I'm wondering about a name for my instrument. Thank you for your assistance. Sincerely, Henrietta." Ohio, October, 2009.
"Hi Hannah, Last night my son said he had an oboe solo in the band. He played the part and then the band director stopped the band gave a great kudos to my son for such a good job. He knows Justin just received his oboe and it sounds great. So thank you for the charts, the reed and other accessories, and recommendations....Thank you for your mission statement that pushed me towards wanting to help you as well as my son...... God Bless you, Frank." Connecticut, October, 2009.
"Dear Hannah, I hope that one day we can play duets together. In the meantime, I have much practicing and reed making to do. Thanks for helping me return to my music. Peter." Arizona, October, 2009.
“Hannah, After long arduous discussions we are going to take the oboe and we are happy about that.
I want you to know what a pleasure it has been to work with you and how patient and forthcoming you have been in discussing business options with us. This is a huge amount of money for an instrument, in our opinion, but as research continued it is the amount they are and so thank you for working through the education process of purchasing an oboe with us and for your continued professionalism.
You have made Kaitlynn exceedingly happy and it really has spurred her practice and given her a new boost of enthusiasm……Have a wonderful day, thanks a million, Terri.” Arizona, September, 2009.
"Hannah, Thank you so much for guiding us through the process of buying Elise's first oboe. Your wise counsel was invaluable! And thank you for your gifts of thread, poster, fingering/trill charts, and especially the shaper tip and handle. Elise used them this week to make her best reed yet! :) I know we're not done buying instruments. There is likely another oboe in our future, and Elise has her eye on the English Horn as her next challenge. We'll be in touch! We are so grateful for your kind and generous spirit and your desire to nurture young oboists! Amy." Texas, September 2009.
"Hello Hannah! Thank you, Oboe Fairy, for another happy oboe match. It was a pleasure meeting you during my visit to Phoenix in July. I look forward to visiting again. Happy Playing! Christina." Oregon, September, 2009.
"Dear Oboe Fairy, Thank you for the extraordinary Loree oboe. I am fortunate that my parents are purchsing such an expensive oboe for me. I am grateful to have found you in the Internet. Sincerely, Richmond." California, September, 2009.
"The extra FHRED I bought is for my husband's clarinet. Hannah, if it hadn't been for you I wouldn't have found a FHRED, or an oboe with a smaller fit for my hands. I also like the fact that the Buffet is used, to lessen the chance of cracking. Thanks for all your kindness, and answers. I especially appreciate the time you spent answering my questions and aiding the decision on the right oboe for me! The improvement in my tone, technic and phrasing is already showing because of the Buffet and the FHRED. Marian." Illinois, August, 2009.
"Hannah, I played my new EH horn tonight in a quintet rehearsal. It just feels right -- I'm so glad I was able to buy it!
Stacie." New York, August, 2009.
"Hannah, The work you do is AMAZING! If I had come to anyone else with my ordeal, they probably would've turned me away in a heart beat! But you did just the opposite! You bent over backwards, and took a LARGE financial risk just to help me out! The instruments you provided me were wonderful, I couldn't even choose between them because they were both so great! I'm finally feel like I have a suitable instrument for a major now, and I have you to thank for my confidence. Thank you SO much!! All the best, Scott." Kentucky, August, 2009.
From Jaime in CT when she received her oboe......."This fox 300 you sent me is an amazing oboe! I was amazed by how heavy it was. When I played it, it had a fuller, darker, and rounder sound than I have experienced so far. I'm not quite sure how I ever lived with out a left hand F key before....That one little key fixes some major low f to low d issues I had been struggling with. I have hit low b flat for the first time also, so deep so beautiful. I will take good care of this oboe and love it. I definitely have to get used the weight of it though. ……I will probably be playing it most of the day tomorrow!
Thank you so much hannah! It is not every day an oboe fairy comes along. I only dreamed of owning a pro oboe now I have a top quality one! Your repair man is great. I can tell he put tons of work into this. There are only a few of the original teflon tipped screws left in it, almost all of them are new and working perfect. The oboe plays like it is new. Thanks again Jaime.""I am so excited about the fox 300!!! I looked it up online. It is perfect. It will truly last a lifetime and not warp or crack like wood, it has all the bells and whistles, and won't need to be broken in. I know I will love it, thanks for directing me toward it.. I will have it paid in full early I'm sure. Your trust, generosity, kindness, and love of music & musicians is truly empowering. I always wished for an oboe fairy....you are truly the human manifestation! I'm looking foreward to speaking with you again and making this dream a reality. Thanks, Jaime." Connecticut, August, 2009.
"Hannah, I am enclosing a check for the oboe. Thank you very much for your prompt responses! Judith." Texas, August, 2009.
"Dear Hannah. Thank you for the Fox 555 EH. Both Roger and Jason gave it their seal of approval. Emily is excited to get into really playing it. Pam." Tennessee, August, 2009.
"Dear Hannah, Thanks again for your generosity in providing the trills charts and the Fhreds for tryout. The oboe I chose "won out" in all the blind tirals we performed (5 oboes evaluated concurrently[sic]) . Have a lovely summer! Madelon." New York, August, 2009.
"Hi Hannah. We received the oboe Friday and were able to take it to Isabel's oboe teacher today. He was very impressed with the quality and said he would add you to his list when he is looking for an oboe. We will be keeping the oboe...... Thanks for helping us. Denise." Massachusetts, July, 2009.
"Hannah, Thank you so much for offering the best oboes with best prices. ....Our daughter is so happy with her new oboe and so are we. We really appreciate your time and kindness. You are such a nice person. I am glad that my husband found you. We wish you the best in your business and career as a musician. Please take care. The Smiths." Arizona, July, 2009.
"Well, Ellie has fallen in love with the oboe and would like to keep it. Thanks so much for your help. I know that Ellie will continue to enjoy playing on the oboe for some time to come. Charlotte." Ohio, July, 2009.
Hi Hannah --Just thought you might want to have another update on the bassoon saga. More than a month has passed since we first made the connection with you. It seems like it must have been last year! Leslie has settled into the new instrument very nicely. Her teacher is thrilled with it, and the rest of the quintet is, too. Her sound volume has just about doubled -- it is a real presence now, instead of the less-focused and smaller tone of the student instrument she played before.
We are both still in awe of the way you were able to help us find this instrument -- EXACTLY the instrument she wanted, in the shortest possible time, at a price she could afford. It seems almost like a miracle. The fairy-dust must have been very liberally sprinkled on this transaction!
This goes into our file under the heading, "You Win Some". It has been a true pleasure dealing with you. Best wishes in your continued mission. Susan." Ohio, July, 2009.
”Hi Hannah, My daughter finally made up her mind about the oboes. She loves the QC07 and will be purchasing it. Thank you very much for your help! Sincerely, Gary.” New Hampshire, July, 2009.
“Hi Hannah, We are very happy with the oboe- it has a beautiful sound. It's unanimous-this oboe is a keeper. Thank you so much for all of your help and support throughout this experience. It has been a pleasure doing business with you.
Jennifer loved the case cover; it suites her beautiful oboe perfectly. Thank you so much for your help and please feel free to use me as a reference for your business. Warmest regards, Yvonne.” Georgia, July, 2009.
"Hi, Hannah. I just wanted to share with you some feedback on the oboe we got Jacob (from you!). It was a Fox Renard 330. Absolutely everyone we have spoken with says it's the perfect instrument for him. But the best is yet to come. He's here at Interlochen (three week general arts camp with music emphasis), and has 3 one hour long private lessons with oboist Linda Strommen. She had a good look at his oboe, said it was the perfect instrument for him, and then asked, "Is it new?" Thought you'd like to hear that! Best -Rachel." Michigan, June, 2009.
"Dear Hannah, Thanks for everything! Thought we'd include a couple poems Molly has written in the past on the fairy theme. How fun to get your oboe from "the oboe fairy!" God bless you, Audrey.... Dear Hannah, Thanks for sending us the oboes! I really love the Loree Cabart, it is so much nicer than my old instrument. I'm very excited to start playing it in band, symphony, ensembles, etc. Thanks again, Love, Molly." Illinois, June, 2009.
"Hi Hannah, She is in love with her new oboe as is the Oboe Professor. Thanks, again. Cathy." Kentucky, June, 2009.
"Hi Hannah, I don't know how to thank you enough! I am so excited I want to practice all the time. I just got back from my bassoon lesson at the university and my professor said it is a very fine instrument and approves of it 100%. You helped take a very distressing time in my life and turn it into a blessing. It's still hard to believe I own my own instrument. Thank you so much! If I can ever help you sometime, please let me know. Blessings,

"Dear Hannah, Thank you so much. I can't believe it was so easy to find a lovely oboe. Blessings, Audrey." Illinois, June, 2009.
"Dear Mrs. Selznick, Thank you for the great oboe! It has a very nice tone and looks brand new. My oboe teacher thought that it was a very good deal. I would like to keep it. My mom will contact you Monday about sending the check. From, Jeffrey." Texas, June, 2009.
"Hi Hannah! All is doing well, I have been meaning to contact you to let you know that the Fox is absolutely amazing, but things have been sooooo busy with it being the end of the school year and whatnot! But, to answer the question, the Fox is great, and we couldn't be happier! Thanks so much! Jordan." Kentucky, June, 2009.
"Dear Hannah, Thank you so much for the time you spent answering questions, playing different instruments, and helping us choose the right instrument. Rebecca is amazed at the difference in quality between her rental and her new oboe, and we are thrilled to feel confident in providing the oboe. We're looking forward to years of beautiful music. Thanks, Meg." Florida, May 2009.
"Dear Hannah, Buying an oboe is a somewhat stressful for someone such as me, someone who can barely distinguish an oboe from a clarinet. My twelve-year-old son may know a bit about oboes, but he knows nothing about making such an important purchase. I found some guidelines on the internet, the most important of which seemed to be “ask the music teacher for guidance.” I did, but my son’s music teacher is not well-informed about oboes, either. (He can teach how to play superbly, however!)
So, armed with what little info I found on the internet, I called you. After asking some important questions about my son, you recommended the Fox Renard 330 (the one I had been leaning toward). You gave us a great deal on the oboe, shipped it immediately, and offered a week try-out period. We received the oboe two days ago.
After speaking with you but prior to receiving the oboe, we had a chance to talk to the principal oboe player for the local symphony orchestra. Upon hearing what we’d ordered, he said “That is the perfect instrument for someone of Jacob’s experience and ability!”
Yesterday, we took the oboe to the University and the oboe professor ran it through its paces. Her verdict? It’s a very fine instrument and perfect for my son!
I can’t begin to express what a delight working with you has been. Your website says you love what you do. I also love what you do! Sincerely, Rachel Foster-Lifson." Michigan, April, 2009. (Full name printed by request of client).
“Hannah - The ease of working with you in choosing our daughter's step-up oboe made this a much less daunting task than it had been. We had trialed oboes from other suppliers, and while their oboes were ok they were not as easy to contact, nor were they as cost effective as you were. In this day and age with everyone being more cost conscious, it was a pleasant surprise to deal with someone who sent three oboes (all within our price range) not asking for deposits or credit cards. This kind of trust in business is rare and when we are due for another instrument you will be our 1st call. If anyone needs a reference please tell them to email me.
Tomorrow my daughter is taking her new oboe to school for the first time, she is excited and ready for the next step in her instrumental music career. For that excitement I thank you. Jack” Indiana, April, 2009.
"Dear Hannah, Thank you for finding the oboe for David. Also, thank you for the reeds and the reed soakers. Sincerely, Patricia." Illinois, April, 2009.
"Hannah – Thank you for everything you have done for us. Davey has a superb oboe at a lower cost than we ever thought possible, thanks to you. It will surely take him as far as he wants to go with it. He is now busily working on audition material for a local youth orchestra tryout in June….and VERY excited about the possibilities. Scott.” Virginia, March, 2009.
"Dear Hannah, it was a real pleasure working with you. Delaney is thrilled with her new oboe! It is a treasure. Happily, Lindsey." Oregon, March, 2009.
"Dear Hannah, I'm so glad we were referred to you. It was an absolutely painless process. You should be a dentist! Ha ha. Jim." Kentucky, March, 2009.
“Dear Mrs. Selznick, Thank you so much for all the work you put in to finding me an oboe! It is an amazing oboe! When it came I was so excited! When I opened the case it was wrapped in tissue. After I opened the tissue paper and saw the sparkling keys I thought it was brand-new! I am starting to get used to it now, and I am still amazed at how beautiful it is. When we took it to the Principal Oboist of the Virginia Symphony Orchestra, the first thing she said after she had played a few scales was “you have got yourself an oboe”! I wish you could have seen the look on her face. She really liked it. When we took it to my teacher’s house she was like a kid on Christmas morning. She was very impressed with the case cover and especially the oboe. She was a little jealous that my oboe had more keys than her Loree! I never thought I would get an oboe this nice! Thanks again!! Sincerely, David.” P.S. “I named my oboe “Al” after Abrecht Mayer the greatest oboist in the world!” Virginia, March, 2009.
“Hannah, the oboe arrived today. It is lovely and Nathan is very happy with it. Thank you for the prompt service. Regards, Heidi.” AUSTRALIA, March, 2009.
"Thank you again for everything.! I hope to meet you one day. Double Reed Friend, Claudia." Arizona, March, 2009.
"Hannah,Thanks again for your great service, Jim.” Kentucky, March, 2009.
“Hannah, Thanks again for sending the oboes. Kelly is learning lots about the new oboe. The fingering charts are great. She's a happy girl! Thanks again, Deb.” Nebraska, March, 2009.
“Hannah –The results are in, and……WE’LL TAKE IT! Everyone loves the oboe, especially Davey. The professional oboist we consulted played a few scales and said “You’ve got yourself a great oboe.” Her initial reaction over the phone was not positive...in her experience Yamaha oboes are somewhat inconsistent. But after playing it for 15-20 min she said that this 841T played better than any Fox she had ever heard. So that was great news. She was impressed with the condition of the instrument and said it would be nice to know the history….especially if it was a backup instrument for a professional oboist...???? Davey’s teacher was also very happy with the oboe and was excited that he got such a fine instrument at a great price. Both said that it will last him a long time if properly cared for and should take him as far as he wants to go with it. Davey is still getting used to it, as you expected, but his improvement is noticeable over the past week. I think all the new keys have temporarily short-circuited his brain! Thank you so much. We are extremely happy and grateful to you for this oboe. Davey will be sending you a note of thanks along with the check. Scott.” Virginia, March, 2009.
"Hannah, Thanks for your service. Allison is thrilled with the oboe! Jim and Kathy." California, March, 2009.
"Hannah, I have some very good news--yesterday I won the Principal Oboe audition with the Atlanta Opera! ......I've been busy with auditions lately--last week was in San Diego for an English horn audition. That beautiful horn that you were so wonderful to arrange for me took me all the way to the finals there--it's a great horn. Thanks again for that, and all of the other ways you've supported and encouraged me. That EH bell keychain that you gave to me after last year's recital lives on the zipper to my case, and I still think of you every time I grab it to open it up! I hope things are well with you!
Dane." Missouri, soon to be in Georgia, March, 2009.
Dear Hannah, Thank you again for your help with Maggie's oboe, and now quick service on reeds! Anne." Virginia, March, 2009.
Hannah, Thank you so much for everything you did to help me in the purchase of the Loree. You were kind and understanding and I truly appreciate your help. Please know that I will recommend you to any of my students or others who are looking to purchase an instrument. Thanks again. Sincerely, Bekah." Illinois, February, 2009.
I just would like to let you know, that the reed that has three colors (medium-hard) is my favorite reed and is my perfect strength.. it plays THE BEST. :) i can always count on you for reeds, and so now you know my reed size :) thanks hannah!!! -Dylan." New Jersey, February, 2009.
"Hannah - I do love the reed you sent me as a present and have become slightly addicted. I would like to order serveral. Thank you, Gerry." Illinois, February, 2009.
"Dear Hannah, I am completely satisfied with the Fox 330 oboe and have chosen to buy it. I'd like to thank you again for all your patience throughout this period of investigation and contemplation, which has gone on for over a year. Thanks again, Jerry." Arizona, February, 2009.
"Dear Harnnah, I received everything today, and I would like to thank you again for helping us! My mom and I put the check in the mail earlier this morning so I hope it arrives soon! I love the reeds and all the tools. Thanks so much-Dylan." New Jersey, February, 2009.
"Hannah: Thank you so much for the two reeds. They worked fantastic. Samantha is very happy. Later, we need to get information about oboes since she is going to need a new one when she starts high school. Thank you, Grace." Virginia, February, 2009.
Hello Hannah, I hope you've had a great holiday season! It's Dylan AGAIN. I would just like to tell you that the loree is still in beautiful condition and I made our county band with 2nd chair :) I am so grateful for the oboe we bought from you!! Well I am actually email-ing you because I think I want to buy 2 of your reeds, (like the ones that originally came with the oboe.) I have been playing on ones my private teacher makes, but I want to try yours again! So if you could e-mail me the price of them and how we would go along buying them, it would be great :) Thanks for all the help in my musical carreer!!! Dylan." New Jersey, February, 2009.
" I am writing you to tell you how well Holly is doing with her oboe......she began oboe lessons in July so that she could participate in her school's band (no orchestra in the school). Well, guess what! She made first chair for the county band and she made 2nd chair for the NW district symphonic band (there are six districts in the state of NC). Because she made 2nd chair she will be eligible to audition for the All-State band. All of this is the middle school level; Holly is in 7th grade. We believe that she is so successful due somewhat in part to the quality Fox 330 oboe we purchased from you. (We wouldn't want to completely give all the credit to the oboe.) I wanted to share this with you, Hannah, to let you know how well she is doing in such a short period of time. Maybe it won't be too long before we'll be contacting you for an upgrade! Joy," North Carolina, February, 2009.
"Hannah, Thanks and congratulations on your ten year anniversary with your business! Marilyn." New Jersey, February, 2009.

"Thank you, we are very pleased with the oboe. Stephen." Colorado, January, 2009.
"Happy holidays, my Oboe Fairy Hannah! I wanted to let you know that I am enjoying my new oboe. Thank you again for reconnecting me with my true self - an oboist at heart. Sincerely, Mary." Arizona, December, 2008.
"Hannah, It was great meeting you last night. That was a unique evening, one that I will probably always remember. I am very excited about the oboe, and I can’t wait for Christmas Day for Linda to see it as well. Thanks again for helping me. I really appreciate the time and effort you put into this. David." Arizona, Christmas, 2008.
"Dear Hannah, I am sure Anna will be thrilled to receive and play her "new" oboe! Thank you for making it possible for us to acquire such a beautiful instrument. Sincerely, Mark." Virginia, Christmas, 2008.

"Kyle is enjoying his 'new' English horn and feels quite fortunate to have had the opportunity to play a number of instruments before deciding on this particular one (along with advise [sic] and agreement from his private instructor and oboe repair specialist). It has been a pleasure to work with you and I appreciate your honesty and sincerity through this process of selecting an appropriate English horn for Kyle. I wish you the best in all of your future endeavors. Best regards, Rick." California, October, 2008.
"Thanks for offering this horn for sale. I was not able to find much online in used EH’s so this filled the bill at the right time.
Sincerely, Kavin." Illinois, October, 2008.
"Hello Hannah! Well, I have had a busy week with these oboes :-) I brought them to my teacher on Monday, and she played them all for me. She liked every one of them! I must tell you that she was very impressed with you and the instruments you sent me to trial, and has said that she will be referring students to you in the future. Excellent! Thank you so much for your generosity, help and kindness. You are a pleasure to work with. Sincerely, MaryJo." Oregon, October, 2008.
"Hannah, Thank you so much for your help and patience. I feel confident that we have made the right decision in purchasing this instrument. Mia is so very excited! It was truly a pleasure 'meeting' you. Take care and thanks again." Kris, Louisiana, September, 2008.
"Hannah, Well, we are all checked out and OK-ed for the oboe. Our repair man said it was a great oboe in great shape for a fair price and that he knew of you and that you were known all over. Katie's teacher said she had her best lesson yet yesterday and had a good tone too. He appeartly said he knew of you also. And that was after he seemed to disapprove of my trying to find an instrument over the Internet. I don't know. He is a great teacher and friend to the kids though. So, I will write you a check right now and get it in the mail. Thank you so very much for the oboe and all your help. By the way, we have never used a feather with an oboe before and could use a little coaching." Christine, Illinois, September, 2008.
"Hi Hannah: Yes, the oboe arrived safely and it arrived early too. I couldn't believe it! What is more, your thorough job of documenting the sale meant that Japanese customs waived the Japanese sales tax which saved me $200.00. Thank you. I have been playing it since it came and my lip is worn out!!
I am very very pleased with the Fox 300. It plays like a dream and is everything I hoped for. This winter, I won't have to worry about going from a cold snowy blizzard outside into a overly heated room to play. The Fox 300 will be fine. In Japan, there is no central heating so, even in your own house, instruments have to survive extreme and rapid temperature changes when moving from room to room. The extreme temperature changes are a big concern with my Fox 400.
I am also very glad to be able to compare the performance of the Fox 300 with my Fox 400. Though the two oboes are very similiar, and the Fox 300 is exactly what I wanted, I am pleased that the Fox 400 is a superior instrument and well worth the addition cost. I couldn't be happier that I own both models. I now have two very nice instruments, one that I will use mostly for practice and for extreme weather; the other for performance.
Hannah, you did a great job for me. I am completely 100% satisfied with the instrument and also with the way you conduct business. Even though we have never met and have only communicated by email, I felt your personal touch throughout the process of buying the oboe. When it comes time for me to buy an English horn, I will definately contact you. I also categorically recommend you to anyone considering buying either a new or a used instrument. Furthermore, if I ever do decide to part with an instrument I will definately consult with you about consignment. (Right now, I am so happy with my Fox 300 that I no longer plan to trade it in for an English horn. I will purchase the EH outright....Probably a Fox as well.)" Kindest Regards, David, JAPAN, September, 2008.
"Dear Hannah, Thank you for your help as we have journeyed into "oboe land"...what a fitting place for the Oboe Fairy!! Maggie is excited about playing the Yamaha, and we look forward to her performances in the future. Your kindness, promptness, professional grace, and understanding of us oboe novices has been invaluable! Thank you from the bottom of our hearts, to the tips of the oboe reeds!" Anne, Virginia, September, 2008.

"Thanks Hannah for the great deal on the Fox 330. I'm glad the search is over for now! The rental Selmer goes right back!" Jill, Florida, August, 2008.
"Dear Hannah, Thank you again for all of your time and service. I have decided to keep the loree. I Think that It sounds great and I can't wait to use it in the university orchestra this fall! I played It at a wedding the other day, and I could not believe how relaxed I was... my old Linton constantly led me to episodes of mild brain hypoxia (starvation for oxygen) and etxreme dizziness. I thought that this was normal, but now I see that playing the oboe can be far easier and enjoyable to play. I will be sending the check in the next day or two. I also would like to order four medium reeds from you. Your reed prices are far lower than other professional reed outfits, and yet I have never experienced reeds of such quality!!! Thank you so much again for all of your excellent service and help. I will probably be emailing you again in the near future for additional questions/future reed orders. Sincerely, Emily." Ohio, August, 2008.
"Everything looks perfect! Thank you so much for your help in finding just the right instrument for Jamie. We had Dave’s folks over for dinner last night and she was showing them every little detail of her oboe, so I know she is pleased." Tracy, Scottsdale, AZ, August, 2008.
"Hi Hannah, Thank you Oboe Fairy! Greetings from Toronto. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Your package arrived today. It was very exciting to receive it. I guess it was sitting around in Canada Customs for awhile, but at least it got here! : )
The Martin Schuring fingering charts are excellent. They are quite clear to read and very durable. I wish I had had them years ago. I appreciate the instructions for breaking in my new oboe and also the feather and water pillow. If I eventually need another water pillow do you know where I can find it in Toronto? Are water pillows reusable for many years, or do they need to be replaced every few months? I guess I just need it during the winter, i.e. whenever the furnace is on, right? Please keep in touch. Best wishes and many thanks, Laura." Toronto, Cananda, August, 2008.
"Greetings Hannah: We mailed the oboe today, 8/11/08. The people at UPS said that it should arrive on Wednesday. We included everything as you requested. I have the information listed below. We want to thank you for being so pleasant to work with, it has been a pleasure." Jim and Lynn, Florida, August, 2008.
"Hi Hannah, Thanks for the bill of sale. Diane has enjoyed getting to know her new oboe. Thanks also for your help and expertise in finding the right oboe for her." Cheryl, North Dakota, August, 2008.
"Thank you! Chloe loves the reed and the oboe." Teresa, Oklahoma, August, 2008.
"Hannah – Jennifer is very happy with her new oboe. She had her first lesson last night as we had been on vacation. Her teacher kept saying how lucky we were to find such a nice oboe. Although she needs to get use to the new oboe, she is already playing a little better. Thank you for your assistance, Linda." Wisconsin, August, 2008.
"Dear Hannah, Thank you for all the time you took in helping Melissa find her new oboe. She was quite upset with the loss of her old one but now is so excited to have another opportunity to pursue it again. You are a great mentor and live up to being the # 1 Oboe Fairy. I am grateful that Melissa chose this wonderful instrument and the bonus of your friendship I have received from that. You are a blessing and have a true gift to offer others. Hugs, Anne." Arizona, July, 2008.
"Dear Hannah- Thank you so much for being the "Oboe Fairy" for our family. Ross decided to keep the Fox, so we are returning the Yamaha to you. Thank you also for the handmade reed, fingering charts and poster. Charts are helpful with the new keys on the Fox. P.S. I'm spreading the word about you!! Sincerely, Elaine." Pennsylvania, July, 2008.
"Hannah, You may use my words on your testimony page......I think you have been amazing to work with and we couldn't be happier with finding you and the oboe! As we were in the process of looking for oboes, we were hoping to find someone honest and with integrity. It was obvious in the first few minutes of speaking with you, that you were both of those things. We also appreciated the knowledge that you have about the Oboe. You were able to set our minds at ease as we decided to make the purchase from you. Hannah, thank you for being the Oboe Fairy. You are exactly what we were hoping to find! I just wanted to give you an update with Erika and her audition today. She was the last one to audition and she did very well. She made it into the Symphonic Band, Orchestra and an honor 4 piece woodwind quartet! She is very excited...but the great thing is what the lady holding the auditions said to Erika as she walked out the door....first she shook my hand and then told me how good her oboe sounds and that this oboe is doing good for her. Now this is the same lady who has auditioned her every year up there, so to know that she noticed a difference in her oboes was a very nice thing considering we just made this big purchase! So, thank you for providing us with such a nice oboe and for the time you spent with Erika this past week. It is greatly appreciatied. Laura." Mesa, Arizona, June, 2008.
"Hannah, You have done it again! Another very satisfied customer. After all of the glowing reviews from my son's school teacher to summer lessons teacher to our local professional oboe/bassoon shop, we have decided to purchase the Fox 330 oboe. They said that the oboe was in fantastic condition and an excellent value. Thanks for supplying a reed and all of the other little extras to go with it. I have been told that our yearly cost to own this instument will be less than renting a lesser quality oboe from the local music shop. Thanks again from my son and myself, Chuck." Minnesota, June, 2008.
"Dear Hannah, The oboe is absolutely perfect in every way. Thank you so much! I can't wait to see the new case cover. I named my oboe Ticheli after Frank Ticheli who wrote one of my favorite songs, 'A Shaker Gift Song.' I am so excited and I will treasure it forever! Thanks again! Love, Kirsten." Georgia, May, 2008.
"Dear Hannah, Many thanks for the nice oboe. My daughter loves it!. Best regards, James." Boston, May, 2008.
"Hi Hannah, The Fox 330 Oboe arrived safely this afternoon at my office. I waited until I got home this evening to carefully unpack the Fox oboe. Your method of packaging is very secure! The handling by FedEx showed no dents or rips to your packaging! I really am impressed at your gift wrapping of the oboe inside the case! Oboes Rule! I spent about an hour this evening looking at and playing the oboe. The oboe is every thing that you described in your email. The keywork is spotless and the body next to perfect. Also, I was impressed that the Fox Renard name is clearly readable on the bell. This particular oboe appears to have not been played very much. The serial number indicates that this Fox oboe was made in the first couple of months in 1995. I am looking forward to this weekend so that I will have a little more time to play and explore the oboe. I have located my Oboe method books and orchestral parts, so it should be a very musically busy weekend.
Thank you for the handy fingering and trill charts, reed, reed case and feather. They are really great! I will be in touch with you after this coming weekend. Thank you for all your expertise and patience........... I have decided to purchase the Fox 330. It is a beautiful, well maintained and easy playing instrument. During the past week, I played on the oboe several times..... Again, thank you for your honesty, knowledge and patience." Tom, Chicago, May, 2008.
"Hannah, Thought I would drop a line about one of your instruments and the girl that plays it. Kelly received the Presser Scholarship at the end of her junior year and will graduate this May with an oboe performance degree from Central Michigan University. She will student teach this fall and has been offered a full grad assistantship in oboe performance at CMU to begin in January. Her senior recital was way back in January so she would have all of her audition music complete. Her original intention was to go immediately to grad school and bypass her student teaching so she could receive a masters in music theory and oboe and teach at the collegiate level. Things do change. She plays her English horn semi professionally whenever she can get a gig. Usually in Midland, Michigan. Dow Chemical is home there and gives a lot of money to the musical art societies. She just completed her area recital on your d'amore and was chosen to represent the woodwind studios at the honors recital. Her trio (oboe, clarinet and bassoon) was selected to perform for the schools appreciation concert called Opus. This is a concert that the financial contributors attend. Kelly has sat principal oboe in CMU's top instrumental groups, the Wind Ensemble and Orchestra since the second semester of her freshman year. She has done well. In part because of your assistance with the English horn and d'amore. I thank you for this." Bob, Kelly's father, April, 2008.
"Dear Hannah, ...Most importantly I want to thank you for helping me buy an oboe for Sara. (She will be performing in the state competition next month.) While staying on a tight budget, we want to provide quality instruments for our children as their interests and talents are discovered and are developing.
The first day I spoke to you on the phone I found you to be a delightful, wonderful person! I was so nervous to shop for an instrument I don't play and know little about. Something about you put me at ease and I really enjoyed working with you. I appreciated how you walked me through confirming my choice of which make and model would meet my daughters needs and fit in my price range.
When I told my daughter's teacher the price of the instrument, she was expecting to see a piece of junk, as was so often her experience with mail-order used instruments. She was shocked to find a clean, beautiful instrument. But how well would it perform? Each test she gave the oboe, it passed beautifully. In all her years she had seldom if ever come across such a value in a used oboe. I wish you could have seen her smile of amazement. My daughter and I were relieved and thrilled!
I had been so sure that choosing an oboe would be a long frustrating process resulting in spending a great deal more money and/or purchasing an inferior instrument.
Thank you for your careful attention to my family's needs. Thank you for the extra goodies you sent along with the oboe. My daughter has made good use of them.
I so appreciated your assurance that I could return the oboe if we were not happy. Although I am a stranger you will never meet, you treated me as a trusted friend. I was drawn to you and really hoped our teacher would like the oboe so I would not have to return it. There is something very special and good about you.
Best wishes to you and your business. Our son has picked up the English horn that school has for him to use his senior year. Who knows, maybe he will be in the market for his own someday and we will call on you again. Warmly, Linda," Wisconsin, April 10, 2008.
"Hi Hannah, I want to thank you again for the superb oboe and all of your help. You have been so patient with me and tolerated all of my e-mails . I finally have the oboe of my dreams, thanks to you!!! Thanks again!!!!!!!!!
I was wondering if you sell oboe reeds. The reed you sent me was ABSOLUTLEY PERFECT!!!!! It worked greatly!!! Please tell me the prices if you do sell them, THANKS AGAIN!!!!!!" Dylan, New Jersey, April 10, 2008.
"Hi Hannah, Yes, We are VERY, pleased with the Oboe and Dylan is ecstatic! He has been playing it & polishing it up, since UPS arrived with it this afternoon!.... We will be making the purchase!! He will make good use of it!! Thank you for your patience with Dylan and all his questions & Emails! It has been a pleasure making this purchase through you. You've been wonderful! Your patience, sincerity and trust are amazing & I am so happy that Dylan was lucky enough to find you and this beautiful Oboe!.....Thanks, for outstanding service & a wonderful deal on a beautiful Loree Oboe!" Kim, New Jersey, April 4, 2008.
"Hannah, Thank you for such a smooth transaction. Bless You!" Sally, March 20, 2008, Missouri.
"Hannah, I am just writing to let you know how happy my daughter is with her new oboe. She played with it in her first regional band concert, which was made up of top students in southern Connecticut. The concert was outstanding and she felt great about her own performance. Her teacher is equally pleased with the new instrument and how it is motivating her to work hard. Thank you again." Eileen, Connecticut, March, 2008. (A second note received following an oboe purchase in February.)
"Ms. Sleznick, I've decided to purchase the Fox 400....Thank you for allowing me to try the oboes, and a special 'thank you' for the reed!" Jarrett, Georgia, March 21, 2008.
"I just want to say thank you again for all of your help! I've been waiting 9 years to buy an oboe, and I 'm extremely satisfied with my choice! I look forward to doing business again with you in the future." Maxine, California, March 15, 2008.
"We've decided to purchase the Fox oboe. Charli loves it and it's a great instrument at a great price.... Thanks again. You've made an aspiring oboist (and her parents) happy. Music has always been an important part of my life, and I'm excited to see my children starting down a musical path." Pat, Wisconsin, March 15, 2008.
"Thank you so much for your extraordinarily prompt and courteous service, excellent oboes, terrific prices, fingering charts and accessories, and especially for the reeds! I am convinced that the process was a whole lot quicker, cheaper, and with less hassle than if I would have dealt with someone else. I will definitely recommend you to anyone who might be in the market for an instrument, and I hope we will have an oportunity to do business again in the future." Bob, New Mexico, March 3, 2008.
"Dear Hannah, Thanks so much for all your help! My daughter very much loves her "new" horn. She started rehearsals this week in the wind symphony, an "audition only" ensemble to which she was invited to 2 weeks ago. All is again right with the world. Thanks again for everything. We'll certainly recommend you to anyone we hear of who is looking for an oboe!. Thanks again for your friendly assistance and incredible service! You turned what had been a worrisome desperate search into a joy! Best regards." Mike, Washingston, February 20, 2008.
"Dear Hannah, my daughter is thrilled with the horn and can't wait to play it at college. I want to thank you for the speedy transaction and your professional expertise in finding this horn for her. I am sure she will enjoy this instrument for many years to come." Brenda, Long Island, NY, February 22, 2008.
"Hannah, Thank you for finding the Fox 520 English Horn. I already love the instrument and can't stop looking at it. It is beautiful. Thanks, also, for the fingering charts and the Loree Oboe poster. I will start playing the English Horn this week in the orchestra pit for 'Fiddler on the Roof.' I can't wait." Lauren, Brenda's daughter, February, 2008.
"Hi Hannah, my daughter's teachers looked over the oboes at her lesson yesterday and thought both were just fine. We decided to go with the Fox. I gave the teacher your business card and she said she definitely would recommend you to students looking for new oboes. It has been a pleasure working with you. If my satisfaction is your pleasure, you should be quite pleased indeed." Eileen, Connecticut, February 20, 2008.
"Ms. Selznick, I wanted to thank you for all you've done for me this week trying to help me reach for one of my dreams. I am really excited and appreciative of the wonderful instrument that you have made available to me. " Courtney, Arizona, February 2, 2008.
"Hello, Rachel is beaming from ear to ear. She likes both, but likes the wooden oboe best. Her teacher has not been a huge help with the decision, she had made it by herself. I have asked her to bring the plastic one to me so I can ship it back. Thank you so much for everything you have done. It has made this experience a little less painful. " Becky S., Minnesota, January 29, 2008.
"Hannah, Thank you again for your generosity. Christopher loves the Fox oboe. The sound that comes out of it is amazing. " Melissa M., Orange Park, FL, January 26, 2008.
"Ms. Hannah Selznick, I just wanted to let you know that the oboe is a success. At first the fingering was difficult, but my spouse dug up some old music that she had kept around and her fingers have begun to "remember". Because of her singing, breath isn't a problem, but the embouchure is going to take a while. The only long term problem is that our scotty seems to enjoy singing along. Again, thank your for your assistance.
Peace, Bruce. San Jose, CA. (A Christmas 2007 Surprise for his wife).
"Yes, the oboes did arrive today!!!! I have been playing and playing and playing!!!! The reed is working great. I am having so much fun!!!! Thanks!" Nan, San Antonio, Texas, December 26, 2007.
"I just finished my first day of playing Nutcracker, and I had such a great time with my new Loree English horn. I had lots of really great compliments from orchestra members-- including one person who told me that if that was a school EH I should talk to my teacher about buying it since I sounded so good on it! Someone else just commented that I sounded like I was completely comfortable on that EH. When I told them that I'd had it in my possession for only a week, they didn't believe me! As the fates would have it, everything lined up, and I'm completely convinced that this is the right horn for me. I wanted to let you know how wonderful it was to play that EH tonight and how much everything you've done to make it work out means to me. Thanks so much! Tonight was one of those nights that I'll remember for the rest of my life--and it wouldn't have happened without QW series EH." D.P, Arizona, December, 2007.
"Dear Hannah....Thanks again for your assistance, passion, and generosity. We are very happy with the Fox 400 oboe......I am very happy with the entire transaction and believe this oboe will work well for my son. I am glad we decided to go with this choice. It is a beautiful instrument and I look forward to listening to my son playing it for years to come. We will of course take proper care of it and I have been working with my son on this. We are following the break-in instructions you enclosed. My son told his music teacher yesterday he couldn't play any longer as he had reached the 15 minute time limit for that session. Thanks again for your assistance in the selection and the wonderful transaction. I would be happy to serve as a reference if needed. Wish you continued success and happiness." Christopher, Georgia. Octoboer, 2007.
"Thank you, and you may go ahead and deposit the check. This has been a fun and educational experience. Thank you. Hope to do business in the future with you. Probably won't be for a few years but should my daughter really get proficient - we may have to step up a little.. smile." Justine, Texas. November, 2007.
This Testimonial was posted on THE OBOE BULLETIN BOARD...October 1, 2007.
"Just a follow-up to all who's been reading this. After a long ardous process and trying at home at least 3 oboes and trying at RDG and Michelle Forrest more oboes (new and used) -
We eventually purchased an oboe from Hannah's Oboe. She essentially offered the best oboe at the price range we were comfortable with $3-$4k. Bottom line was that she was quite accomodating, and put us at ease with the purchase - she even offered to meet somewhere as she was planning to come to LA (to watch Dodgers beat Diamondbacks ;-0 )
This is not to say that we wouldn't have bought from RDG and Michelle Forrest - just that Hannah had the best deal for us based on the age and condition of the oboe.
We were quite fortunate i think to have 2 good local sources for trying out oboes as well as a source of expertise. In the end trying out as many oboes as possible gave us the confidence in picking which oboe to buy.
BTW, the oboe we bought was a Loree, AK+3 model
One word of advice for those in the same predicament - have a method for trying out the oboes, there was a recent post which referred to an IDRS column. here's the link: http://idrs.colorado.edu/Publications/DR/DR14.3/DR14.3.Dunkel.Guide.html
Unfortunately we didn't have this in the course of trying out oboes. as my daughter is still in 'training' , she didn't have a clue how to evaluate methodically other than playing a couple of scales, some measures (hi & low) and favorite passages." Caesar....Irvine, CA.
"Hannah, I cannot wait for my oboe lesson. Thank you ever so much for all your kindness! I hope we do a nice job. Graham P.S. Your ice tea will be ready when you get here!!! :-)"
Hannah.....I love this oboe. We’ve decided to keep it!!! Thanks for all your help. It is truly a pleasure to do business with you – I greatly appreciate all the advice, the nice extras you sent with the oboe, and your integrity. I can tell you do this for the love of music and oboes, and not for less altruistic reasons!!! My daughter’s oboe teacher checked out the oboe yesterday, and found it to be in great condition. His only concern was that it didn’t have the G#--A trill, but it is still a big step up from her current instrument!!! I’d be happy to supply references for you at any time. Thanks SO much…. - Jenny, San Diego, CA May 2007
Hannah
"Thanks for your kindness and all that 'stuff' with the oboe." Rick O., Hemet, CA.
Hannah,
"Elizabeth is very happy with this oboe.she had been using a student oboe (Armstrong) for the past 6 years, and then borrowed a 300 series Fox from her teacher. We did peruse one other one, but when she played this one from you, she was ready to stop looking. I was surprised it happened so quickly! She is very happy with this purchase. I am also happy to save money where and when I can. I am happy to meet and interface with others who truly want to help the young musicians of the world. Best of luck in your business and with your family. If I hear of other students that are in need of an oboe, I will gladly pass on your name, and encourage them to contact you directly."
Sincerely, Kristin S., Elkhart, INDear Hannah,

Hannah,
"It certainly has been a pleasure meeting you, and we feel very fortunate to have had the opportunity to purchase from such a reputable individual. It was a miracle that Daniel 'stumbled across' Hannah's Oboes on the Internet. What a relief to know there are still honest folks in the world who actually deliver what they promise. Thanks! As you know, Daniel has been searching for several months to find the 'perfect' oboe to use during high school and possibly thru his college years. He feels as though he has made the right decision and is very pleased with the Fox 450..Thank you for entrusting us with both oboes that you loaned for trial. It was a delight to experience awesome customer service, and we certainly appreciate the fact that this purchase was handled with such ease. We definitely will keep you in mind should we need to make another purchase. Again, I can't thank you enough for making a positive contribution to Daniel's musical experience (even if it's just a simple remembrance of the talented and trustworthy individual from Scottsdale, AZ which he purchased the oboe from). My hope is that he continues to enjoy playing oboe for many more years."
Take care! Dena W., Kennesaw, GA
Dear Hannah,
"Thank you very much for sending me these oboes to try. I really enjoyed playing them. Thank you so much for the poster, pencil and the fingering charts! That was really nice of you. The poster will look great in my bedroom! Thanks again for all of your help. I really appreciate it."
