Re: Oboe Yamaha-yob-211 - is it an oboe?

Well, here's an encouragement for you: when I'm traveling in varying weather conditions, I will take along my VERY student-level Yamaha (the bottom I believe!) and play concertos as evening entertainment at professional conferences. Nobody knows. I use a responsive reed and obviously pick music that doesn't require the extra keywork or low Bb.

I would not hesitate to use the same instrument in a very cold pit orchestra situation.

I've two other more professional instruments but if you can find a good quality serviceable instrument that you can afford and that will suit your needs,
GO for it.

ONE other caution: make sure you get a sturdy instrument; having to get even a 'cheap oboe' serviced or adjusted often (if it goes out of whack easily) gets expensive over time. I would suggest having a pro-oboist look it over and deem it worth of your investment.
