F. Lorée is a manufacturer of double reed musical instruments based in Paris, France.
By 1882 it had changed management thrice and was eventually sold to the mass-maker Gautrot, itself purchased in 1884 by Couesnon.
There is ample reason to believe that the professor of oboe at the Paris Conservatoire, Georges Gillet, encouraged Lorée to set up his own shop.
Until the mid-20th century, François Lorée was almost without rival as a maker of artist-quality French oboes.
