Jeremy, THANK YOU. That "article" was QUITE informative. I have a professional oboist that will be assisting me in my purchase. I agree with the statement about the keywork (to some extent). The BASSOON also has complicated keys. The ONE THING that I am REALLY having trouble with is that I think I need to put my fingertips on a diet! They seem TOO fat! I'm sure that the uncomfortable fat feeling I am having right now will disappear with time and familiarity with the instrument, BUT for NOW THEY ARE FAT!!!!!! Clarinets are a bit more forgiving and saxophones are DEFINITELY forgiving!
THANKS AGAIN for your help.

Paula
