Do many oboe specialists in the US deal with dual or thumbplate system isntruments (or have converted conservatoire instruments to dual system)? I can only assume they've only encountered them with visiting players or orchestras from the UK or the instruments British ex pats take with them, but I doubt they'd ever encounter them otherwise.
It's only the UK where the thumplate has lasted and still shows no signs of abating (although there are many conservatoire players who are British and were taught conservatoire system from the word go over here), so the majority of oboes built for sale in the UK (and those actually built in the UK) are dual system.
