 Re: Do older wooden oboes hold their tune?

I learnt to play on an old wooden Cabart that I had overhauled. It was a beautiful instrument, and the tuning was excellent. It had two issues though - the mechanism was well worn, as it had been a school instrument, and it was not equipped with all the keywork I found I needed very early on, as I was primarily a band player. Left F and low Bb are essential to band - make sure to find an instrument with these features.

I think the Fox 333 (or 330 if you can get one for a good price) is the way to go. You will likely get a newer oboe (less wear and abuse) with less maintenance and the correct keywork. I have a 211 Yamaha (older 241) which I use for outdoors, and it is fine, but most oboists would grow out of it as their primary oboe within the first year of learning.
