Musical instrument manufacturers Musical instrument manufacturers A. Laubin, Inc is a maker of oboes. The first Laubin oboe was made in 1931. The creation of oboes began as a hobby, as Alfred Laubin was a very busy performer. It was not until about twenty years later that the idea of selling instruments for a living began to be considered, and it was not easy to break into the oboe market with an unfamiliar name. By the late 1950's production had grown from approximately twelve instruments a year, to about seventy. In 1956, Paul Laubin joined the business, doing repair work at first. ...more on Wikipedia about "A. Laubin"
