Re: Advice on oboe purchase for advancing student

Martin Schuring's website has some extremely sound advice as to buying an instrument:
http://www.public.asu.edu/~schuring/Oboe/instruments.html

His prices are a little out of date, but the advice is as good as it gets.

Ideally, the student should take his best reeds and his teacher to a major store and spend several hours trying out the instruments in the price-range, including one or two that are outside of the price range (in both directions). Gives a much better idea of what the extra money gets you.

When you are spending this sort of money it makes sense to take your time, and do it carefully.
