I went for the Yamaha Custom 821TP when I took up oboe again as it was an ex-demo model and the price was right (and cheaper than a used Marigaux or Loree), though it did have a split top joint which opened up and Yamaha sent me a replacement top joint free of charge. Though I always had trouble with the saggy Gs on this one.

I sold it in 1999 to a Loree player who wanted a newer (and full Gillet) instrument, and I'd had several keywork alterations done to it (better thumbplate, repositioned 3rd 8ve touch, lug soldered to RH 1 fingerplate and some other things here and there), though the more recent Yamaha oboes are much better and have these keywork options fitted as standard for the UK market.

The opinions I express are my own.
