Hi,
I owned a Rigoutat Riec for some time, they are a really good starting point. Wood, 3r octave key, all the trimmings AND relatively low priced. Mine never cracked. I eventually switched to another brand, but my Riec got me through college.
My students usually buy used Lorées, which they seem happy with, or Green Line (crack-proof) instruments if the parents have a bit more money.
Whichever way you want to go, just make sure the instrument gets tested by a proffessionnal oboist.
Good luck!
