It would be best to try before buying any oboe although I did not try my great Laubin, as I had to wait while it was being made. This would go for Chinese oboes, too.
I have a wood Chinese oboe that cost very little that plays pretty well in tune with a good sound. It cost about $500 and has my family name imprinted on the bell in gold. One of these days, I'm going to take it to play in an orchestra. The reed well was slightly larger than on my new Loree, so I gave it a few coats of fingernail polish on the inside, which fixed it. It is padded with good skin pads and the tone holes didn't have any chips in them. The mechanism appears well made and is silver plated. Repair persons may not wish to work on them, however.
You may wish to rent an oboe for a while to begin with.
