Zuleger was the primary source of the Wiener oboe but when he died, the supply of quality oboes became scarce. Yamaha was persuaded to make the Wiener oboe in 1980 or so but I am certain they lost money as the demand was not great and they ceased production.
Now, there are a handful of artisans making the instrument. The differences you hear may be due to the variety of oboes now being used in the orchestra.
