The oboe is much more difficult than you seem to realize. Dealing with the reeds is not easy. Most serious oboists make their own reeds and that takes years of work to learn. The purchased reeds are expensive and are often not useable. The Legere plastic oboe reeds are not yet a serious option. Having played the oboe and the clarinet for decades, I don't relate the double lip embouchure to the oboe embouchure much.
Of course, it depends upon how much pain the oboe audience can stand.
