... as a former Yamaha 441 player i wouldn't do the all-wood model again, it's too thin-wall, porous at times leading one to suspect cracks, doesn't have enough resonance, very sing-song in upper register -- so may as well get either the all plastic model or else their combo plastic upper joint with wood middle & bell, still has same lightness of sound in upper register (lower register is full enough)
the finishing, feel and ergonomics of the 441's are really lovely, the wider than average thumb-rest is a real boon :-)
haven't seen or played the 800 numbered full conservatory model Yamaha myself, but it's been well received by some of our Canadian oboists
