The Luracast lining that Schreiber use (these oboes are made by Schreiber in Germany for Buffet) is good in that it will minimise the playing in time and the risk of split top joints, and they also line the bottom joint as well - you'll probably notice the inside of the bottom joint socket is also completely plastic lined so this will prevent water getting into the end grain. But don't stress or wobble (rock) the joints when assembling as there is less wood on both the tenons and socket, and use a sturdy stand when you're resting it - never lie it down (which applies to all instruments). You shouldn't worry too much about playing it in - just keep it clean and mop the bore after playing as usual.
It is a good oboe to play as a beginner, returning player or hobbying player, though they do generally have a bright sound which is one of their characteristics. I think you should experiment with darker sounding reeds to see what works best.
But you will get a better part exchange on this oboe if you plan to upgrade to an intermediate or semi pro oboe in the future than you would do if you bought an oboe of far less quality.
