Oboes never lose their value. I personally would buy a better quality used instrument; in the long run you'll save money and also if your child does well it will be easier to upgrade in the future.

Or maybe a rental would be a better route if the instrument is superior.

Oboe is extremely difficult to learn and a poor instrument can be the kiss of death because of the inherent difficulties it adds to the learning process.

Speak to a good used Oboe dealer ... i.e., Hannah Zelnick http://www.hannahsoboes.com

Good luck,

Mark
