Re: Need advice for oboe

if i had a crystal ball and can predict that she stays commited, i probably would not have a problem with 4-6K. however, we all know that time changes everything especially for teens/pre-teens

i would not have an issue buying a top of the line oboe and would not hesitate under my situation if the cost was in the 2-3k range, however we are talking 2-3x (4-6k).

so, if i limited the purchase to around 3k (new or used) what advice would you give me? sounds like the next level up would be 4k & up.

are there any places in the SoCal area that would rent an intermediate or pro-level oboe. I see that Midwest Imports does but renting from a local provider i feel would have its advantages. we are being patient as we do want to do the right thing and ensure that we get good value

oboe1960 - pls do let me know were to get a good used oboe

we are thinking of trying RDG (we are in South Orange County) to try different brands new and used to get an idea.

i've also looked at eBay but just to get an idea of availability and price. saw a local ad for a Marigaux for ~2k (circa 1988 i believe)
