 Re: A NEW oboe player

Thank You VERY MUCH for your input. I will definitely take your comments into consideration before I purchase a new (or used) oboe. We learned a couple of years ago (THE HARD WAY) about purchasing a used instrument via EBay. We purchased a flute for our daughter. It came and for MONTHS she instisted that she could NOT get a proper sound out of it. We thought it was that SHE was NOT playing it right. Come to find out, the private instructor we eventually hired (Who is the SAME one that will be teaching OBOE to me!) told us that her flute had 2 subtly broken keys on it and needed new pads. $150 later it sounds wonderful! But had we had it inspected upon first arrival, we would have sent it back! Now IF we purchase an oboe via EBay, we are planning to take it STRAIGHT to the shop for inspection as soon as it arrives. Rather be safe than sorry!
