Drew-we've communicated before. I'm no expert, but my daughter is a serious oboe student, will get a BM in oboe performance, but also plays sax equally well and works in pit orchestras and other music gigs.

I bought her a new professional Loree (AK) in 2010. It's a wonderful instrument, and has made all the difference for her in concerto competitions, performances, and orchestral performances. It cracked once (very small crack), ironically in summer when she played at Tanglewood, and it was hot there. But they play a lot there, and the instrument was only 6 months old. Anyway, it plays the same as before, and she's had no more cracks.

In pit orchestras (she always plays the oboe book) she will will sometimes bring her intermediate Fossati instead. If she had a good plastic oboe she would probably use that. Perhaps when she's older, a full profesional musician, and if she's still doing pit work, she might invest in a professional plastic model.

So, it might depend on where you think you will be performing on this new oboe. I do think that orchestral oboe playing is different that pit orchestra oboe playing.
