I appreciate everyone's advice. I think I will just keep playing on what I have for now but research more specifically what I may want. In the spring I'll contact a few used dealers and start seeing what's out there and hopefully it will work out that it all lines up with my July birthday :-) I would try as many oboes as possible that fit the requirements.

Even though I am tall I have a small frame, thin wrists and wear a size 4 1/2 ring. My husband once asked why I can't play an inline G flute. I held my hand up to his. It was quite comical to see the size difference and my fingertips reached barely past his knuckles.

It was only a brief conversation about EH or new oboe with my teacher. She sees lots of potential in me and was thinking purely from a gigging standpoint that it would be more practical to also have an EH. Maybe that can be a 5 year anniversary present..... but for now I really want to focus on oboe.
