Hello and Welcome to Covey Oboes! Summer Vacation Schedule: we're closing the shop for a much-needed vacation from mid-July until mid-August; please call back then! Our shop is located 2 hours north of Atlanta, in Blairsville, GA. Call or e-mail us for orders or questions. Or for those of you who'd like to come see us in person come on over and take a mountain sight-seeing afternoon, and visit us!! Either way, our phone number is 706-745-6263. The toll-free number should still work, as should the local Atlanta number. Our e-mail is oboes@mindspring.com. Shop Hours 2008: We are available to answer the phone M-F from about 10:00 a.m. to about 6:00 p.m. If you'd like to visit, please call us first. We'll make appointments for you to come in during the week, or on Saturday to accommodate our not-quite-convenient distance.

We are currently finishing and delivering new Covey oboes, both Classic and Traditional bore models, and have more in the "pipeline" for the rest of the year! If you are interested in trying a new Covey, please call and make arrangements! For those of our friends who remember Paul and his Covey oboes from his Baltimore days, he moved to Atlanta in October, 1996. We had a small but wonderful shop on Bennett Street, for 10+ years, nestled in between the art galleries, rug dealers, antique shops and restaurants... but now we're in Blairsville, 1 block from the central town square. From our windows, we see the lovely historic courthouse, with an old-fashioned traffic circle around it. There are festivals here all Fall: Blue Grass Festival, Sorghum Festival (sorghum is a local cane syrup which is very delicious!), there's a Country Fair, the Campbell Folk Arts School has a festival near here, etc. We're walking distance from most of the downtown area, and we can promise you about the best Reuben sandwich we're ever had only one block away... But most importantly, this is an area where we can focus on our work....
