 Re: To buy or not to buy - part II

Don't let the age of any instrument deter you. Peter Hurd (a 'guru' of oboe repair in the US) has noted that some of the older instruments have denser (more close-grained) wood. Both my oboes are older instruments and I am very happy with them.

If the instrument has been well cared for, if it feels good in your hands, if the keywork 'works' with your finger movement, etc. etc. then it might be 'the' oboe for you.

But I would advise you to try several if not many oboes to see what style you like. Just DON'T consider an oboe off of e-Bay, or from any source where you can't try it out!!
