 Re: This oboist says you need to buy a new oboe every 2-5 years? What?

I believe that the amount of time the wood is aged has a good deal to do with how long the oboe stays in top condition. Formerly, the wood was aged for quite a long time; the big makers now make so many instruments per year that they don't have time to age the wood properly, hence many more cracks and a shorter life span. The few makers who work slowly (like Laubin, for instance) and still age the wood -- that is, those who have it as a priority over output/income -- send out instruments that remain professionally playable for far longer.
