Hello TW -

I'm not sure why nobody is responding to your post, but perhaps it's because you are asking unusually "high rent" questions. Frankly, it's a bit odd to have a teenager ask about Hinikers. I'm going to volunteer some answers, assuming that your questions are sincere and earnest. Please understand that I am just a father of another high school oboe player, and have much less expertise than most everyone else on this BBoard.

- I can't comment about cocobolo vs. grenadilla; perhaps someone will chime in.

- There is no single listing for used Hinikers, AFAIK. I think you would have to inquire with each individual used oboe dealer.

- It is a bit hard to find on-line prices for the high-end Loree instruments, but I Googled it, and you can find some prices listed. I don't think there is much negotiation on prices for new oboes in the USA. Perhaps I'm mistaken.

Good luck - You must be rich. ;-)

- P
