In high-school, I played a Selmer Custom and my difficulty with tuning began when I bought my Lorée, which I have played ever since for 25 years. During this time, I have tried the best pro. models... there's a reason they are built the way they are and why they are so expensive!

Apparently, Yamaha has become a real contender for any professional oboist. I remember being impressed with them in the mid 1990's. What I liked about Yamaha is the predictable tuning: if a note is not perfectly in the right place, you can always expect it to be where it is and adjust accordingly.

I would go with the used Yamaha, provided it is in good shape (ask for the 20 secon seal test). An important aspect for any serious student is the low B-natural to C# trill.... the others should all be there.

Howarth and Kreul have good reputations. Forget the Linton!
