I checked the serial number on the Fox 330 and it is about 15 years old- it is a Fox Renard, all plastic . The case, case cover etc. show little signs of wear so someone took good care of it. I am impressed with the quality of the instrument, particularly given the age.
The Rigoutat Delphine is less than a year old and is also obviously an oboe of good quality.
So, like you I'm comparing an older oboe with a much newer, (mostly wooden )oboe.
I've gotta say, now that I've had some time to play on both this evening, that I really, really like the Delphine. It just fits my hands better, and seems easier for me to play.
I'm not making the call yet, but have definite leanings toward the Delphine. I'll take another couple of days before I decide.
