Clara Dent-Bogányis search for an instrument with a highly projecting, touching sound, combined with a refined even ton-scale led her to developing a new oboe Model together with the German oboe maker Ludwig Frank. The focus was also on an outstanding range of technical abilities. This new oboe model now carries her name (Model CD), is for sale since 2018 and already played all over the world.
