F. Lorée Oboes

Innoledy is a direct importer of F. Lorée instruments.

In 1881 François Lorée, former foreman at Triebert, founded his own oboe workshop in Paris. His son Lucien took over the firm in 1902. In 1967 Robert de Gourdon began passing his knowledge on to his son Alain, who now leads the company.
