Yamaha is a fine oboe, but IMO, you should confine your search to instruments which have full conservatory keywork. It just makes no sense at all to me to purchase an instrument that lacks the keywork your daughter will certainly need sooner, rather than later, if she continues to play through high school and perhaps beyond.

There is such a thing as being penny-wise but pound-foolish. I don't know what the upper limits of your budget might be, but if they are in the $2,000 range, a used major-brand professional instrument, even an older one, would be a far better choice than a new intermediate.

May I suggest that you give Hannah Selznick of Hannah's Oboes a call, and see what she might be able to offer you. http://www.hannahsoboes.com/

Hannah advertises on this board, and in my experience is completely trustworthy. She will go the extra mile for you. Read the testimonials on her website. She knows her oboes!
