So, assuming this oboe is something you will play or will have control over its playing, learn a bit about the 're-breakin' process for oboes.
It has no cracks?
The break-in process helps reduce the likelihood of cracking especially in the top joint.
Basically, warm it in hands or arms before playing, then play a few minutes a day, adding a few minutes every few days for a couple months.
This is a very hard thing to do for most folks. I've done it with 3 pro oboes and have not had one crack so far.
Good luck with it.
