Thanks so much for your input. The advise on this board is really helpful. Locally there are not a lot of options - the Selmer 123f, the Yamaha 211 or for renting - a Yamaha 241. It sounds like we would really be better off getting him an oboe that has the LH F and that would also be easier to resell when it is time for him to upgrade. We will look to see what might be available for a Selmer 101. We might have to rent a while and try to save up . Would it be bad to start with a Yamaha 241 and fewer keys? The closest oboe dealers I can find that we could drive to are Charles Double Reed and Hoitt oboe. I assume either of those would be good places to look. ( I am also thinking about where future adjustments and service can be done - it doesn't sound like that is something that just any music shop could do well?) What about stencil oboes? I saw one thought to be a Marlerne. Are there any particular things to be away of with stencil oboes? Thanks.
