Guillaume Triébert
Guillaume Triébert (* 1770 ; † 1848 ) was a woodwind instrument maker from Laubach (Hesse) and is considered the founder of the French oboe .
Born Wilhelm Triebert in Hessen, he learned the craft of instrument making in Germany. In 1804 he emigrated to Paris. Triébert combined the invention of the mechanical bearings on screwed-in balls (Claude Laurent), the use of needle springs (Louis-Auguste Buffet) and the use of ring keys ( Theobald Böhm ) on an oboe. At the same time, it narrowed the conical bore and thus created a contrast to the German wide bore. In the workshop of the Triébert family, founded in 1810, six different oboe models were created over time, of which No. 6 was declared the official model by the Paris Conservatoire in 1881. Its further development led to the modern oboe, which is almost exclusively used today (exception: Viennese oboe ). In addition, Guillaume Triébert is credited with inventing the first fully automatic octave mechanism (change g '' / a '').
