Fox Renard Model 335 Artist Oboe Standard

A resonant step-up oboe with innovative keywork.

The Renard Model 335 Artist Oboe from Fox is a premier intermediate instrument for advancing players. Handcrafted from grenadilla, its all-wood body resonates with a warm, complex tone. The 335’s modified conservatory key system includes a third-octave key, low B-flat vent and multiple trill keys, allowing oboists to explore advanced techniques and access the instrument’s full range.

Grenadilla Body Resonates with Rich Tone

Grenadilla is the wood of choice for professional oboes thanks to its dense, resonant qualities. The 335’s grenadilla body produces a tone that is balanced, warm and projective. Its dark, complex timbre lends itself well to expressive playing in any musical style. The 335’s body is carefully crafted and aged to bring out grenadilla’s tonal potential before precise tuning and final assembly.

Innovative Keywork Opens Up Advanced Possibilities

Fox’s expert keywork artisans have outfitted the 335 with a modified conservatory system including innovations for advancing players. A third-octave key and left-hand F-key provide access to the oboe’s upper register. Multiple trill keys, including A-flat to B-flat, C to C-sharp and G-sharp to A, enable rapid alternation between notes. An articulated C-sharp mechanism and low B-flat vent further expand the 335’s capabilities. With a wealth of key options at their fingertips, oboists can explore advanced techniques and push their musicianship to new heights.

Premium Accessories Complete the Package

The 335 comes with high-quality accessories to keep the instrument in peak playing condition. A plush-lined case with backpack straps provides durable, portable protection. A silk swab allows for gentle cleaning of the bore, while cork grease and a reed case with one hand-made reed are also included. With premium accessories and an all-grenadilla body, the Renard Model 335 Artist Oboe is a complete package for the advancing oboist.
