 Advice needed on buying an oboe
Author: CartmanFan

Hi, I'm new to this forum and was recommended to come here as I need some advice on buying an oboe.

I've never played the oboe but really want to give it a go but have no experience with oboes at all. I'm on a limited budget and have 2 to choose from but I have no idea which one is better than the other. The first oboe is a Rene Duval student model which would be suitable for up to Grade 4/5. The second one is a Corton oboe which took its previous owner to Grade 8. I can't find any information on these 2 makes, other than Rene Duval seems to be a brand name for instruments made in Italy and Corton is a part of Amati instruments.

Has anyone ever heard of these 2 makes and could give me a recommendation as to what they think? I'd really appreciate any advice.
