Thanks JRC.

I contacted Rigoutat to get information about the oboe, but all they told me was that it was a 2007 model, and didn't provide information about the Roland system. I wasn't sure if perhaps some of this is a language barrier. I did find it encouraging though that they still make these oboes, with the Roland system listed in their current price list.

The oboe has a fair bit of tarnishing which I will clean up myself. The wood on the outside of the oboe feels rough, but not sure if it is meant to be like this. It recently was serviced and had the Roland joint repaired. My teacher has inspected the instrument and said it is in good condition and playing well, the only gamble is whether to get an instrument with an atypical joint system.

I've been playing this instrument the last few days and really enjoying playing it, it sounds so beautiful!

How have you found your Roland system, have you found the joint to be reliable?
