Although Martin Schuring mentions injection moulded plastic bodies in a rather negative way, joints can be injection moulded to give the initial basic joint with an underized bore (and a shiny surface finish) and then finished to a high standard by reaming the bore, drilling all the toneholes and cutting bedplaces as would be done normally. Yamaha 200 series oboe joints are injection moulded to give the final bore and outside dimensions.

But it is true that some plastic oboes of the past have a lot to be desired in terms of quality, as do a LOT of the cheapos flooding the market right now.
