Re: A NEW oboe player

I'd suggest a Fox 330 (or 300 if you want to spend that bit more) as that has pretty much all you'll need keywork-wise, is entirely plastic bodied so no danger of it splitting in cold churches and will last you for many years.

If you find a used one, make sure it has been well maintained (and by an oboe specalist - not the Jack of all trades and master of none working from their garden shed bodging up all instruments and making them worse).

If later on you decide on getting an all wood oboe, then play this one in conjunction while playing the wooden one in and then keep it as your bad weather, travelling and back-up oboe.
