I do not believe year of manufacture is relevant to the playing condition of an oboe. It is entirely of the condition of the wood. All the rest can be restored, repaired or modified.
I have a strong suspicion that the myth of deteriorating sound quality of an oboe over time was created by manufacturers and their interests to make more money by selling new oboes.
So, take care of the wood and key works. It will last your life time and longer!! Unless of course you are tired of playing the same instrument and have lots of money.
