Useful tips. Thanks, Jerome
If I decide to go with conservatory system, are the lower end Yamaha ones worth considering, then?
I'm a bit irritated that Yamaha didn't even bother to show a picture of the YOB-241B on their website. Instead, they just show the 241 with a note saying it's the wrong picture - now slavishly copied onto ever major retail site in the UK, but without the note. I'm not clear if there are any other differences, besides adding a thumb plate, and a low B flat. I don't relish the prospect of having to fit an adjuster to the LH1 finger plate though. I guess it's an option.
Maybe I should stick with thumb plate system (in which case, it will probably be a Howarth), or hold out even longer for a dual system one. I haven't played one for long, but by the time I can afford a better oboe, I may have been playing it for quite a while longer, and it might seem like a big change to switch to pure conservatory system.
