That sounds about typical for most oboes. You've got to play the notes in tune; should not depend on oboe to give you the right note.

An electronic tuners will indicate tempered scale tuning. When you sing, which oboe is frequently asked to do, you should sing based on the natural scale. That is how we, humans, hear a song. Tempered and natural scales are not right on top of each other in frequency, as much as 20 cents off in some cases.

Play the notes! Tuners are just for a guide. If you simply cannot hear the notes in a song, oboe may not be right instrument for you.
