Thanks so much guys! That's really useful to know (as all websites like oboes.us or something gave only info on the imperials) I was just a tad hesitant as its on at a great price and im glad it wasn't too good to be true (let's see after I test it out again (post-overhaul)).

I did definitely feel a decent amount of resistance but then again I do have quite a reserved sound that I usually adjust my reed to get so, nothing too unfamiliar then!

I honestly think Chris that you are talking about the exact same oboe. Its quite a dark cocobolo and is being sourced from second hand list howarths with added thumbplate and all! I must search up Chris B and see if my (old) teacher knows of him. I don't recall seeing a crack in the oboe or being told about one so that's something to double check to..

Thanks again both of you, if anyone else has an advice too that would be great. Oh and one last thing! How was the reed-friendliness? My current oboe is a nightmare with them.

Thanks,
AKE
