To follow up on Buffet-
Please DO NOT be tempted to buy a Buffet "Greenline" oboe.
Aside from (in my estimation) being akin to an unabashed
"reed trumpet" (with all the subtlety of a Mack truck), the "Greenline" oboes can crack. The Buffet PR states "crack resistant," NOT "crack proof."
I have had several clients report their Greenline oboes cracking.
The cracks have been dramatic: deep, wide, thoroughly catastrophic.
And heaven help you if this happens after the warranty expires.
The "Greenline" oboe, once cracked, can almost never be repaired.
An entirely new joint must be made. Also, the tenon joint on the
upper joint is very weak, and it is very common to have the tenon break.

The Marigaux "Altuglas" oboe, even being so very expensive, it well worth a look if you happen to live in an adverse climate. Exquisite instrument in every respect.
