Peter, I spoke with Martin Lee of K.Ge Reeds at IDRS, who originally sold the A-W oboes (it was nice after all this time in the US to speak with a stranger with the same accent as me, I must say!) They are now selling them under their own banner, as K.Ge branded oboes. I believe there are three (?) models. I tried the polymer oboe you described, and for the price, I was suitably impressed. I can't speak much for construction, except that it felt sturdy under the fingers, but the tuning and response was surprisingly good. If you wanted to buy new plastic but couldn't afford the Fox, it would be on my list.
