Shelley,

There is a little device called a FRED that you can pick up for around $25 that will take away all of the weight of the oboe.

It is quite compact and can fit in many oboe cases (it's like the top end of a fishing pole).

Hopefully you can find relief using such device if you really do enjoy the oboe, but not the weight.

As far as sound goes I quit playing the oboe for around 7 years and picked it up again. It took a couple months before I developed good tone. It takes practice.

Ultimately the more a person practices the better they sound until they get to a point where they physically have no breath support and lose control of their limbs.

Here's a link to th makers of the FRED:
