 The Yamaha 200 series oboes made for the UK market are built to low Bb - they're fitted with an added thumbplate making them dual system so simply removing that will revert them to conservatoire system. Some of them don't have a forked Eb vent but others do depending when they were made. Shame they don't come with a LH F key.
