 Re: Buying used oboe

I vote Fossati too, BUT...

You'll have to try them. And if you haven't played in 10 years, it's going to be hard to evaluate which oboe is better.

I recommend you build up your chops somehow and then invest in an instrument. How do you do this? I don't know, here's my story:

I took a 7 year 'hiatus' from oboe while living abroad, and returned with a desire to play but no instrument. I found out through my son's viola teacher that a local band needed a player and they had an instrument for me to use. So I was able to 'get my chops back' before buying.

You might also consider renting an oboe for a few months.
And I hope you're planning on getting a 'tune-up' lesson from a good player or teacher. That, OR have a teacher go with you to evaluate the instruments you are looking to buy.

Happy hunting.
