That's a very basic thumbplate system oboe - exactly the same instrument as a B&H Regent. They're not particularly good instruments and best avoided. I began playing on one of these and it was hard work as the low notes were uncontrollable due to the bore design (or lack of).

You're much better with a conservatoire system oboe (built to low Bb) if you're in Brazil as that's the standard system for the Americas and most of the world - thumbplate (and dual) system oboes are mostly played in the UK and don't have much of a following elsewhere.
