I would lean toward yamaha BUT, talking about sound quality it probably won't very that much. Yamahas just lean higher and kids play flat. However, what you should be looking for is a left hand F. Anything else isn't gonna teach your kid horrible habits and it is survivable for more than 2 years if it has a left F.
The thing about oboe is you don't wan't to drop 4K on the instrument they are gonna learn on, but if they start making all *County, District, State, Region, whatever* and are really interested and dedicated, they are gonna need an oboe that costs about 2-3k just to sound good. That one may last them through college though if you make sure you're getting a great instrument.
But yeah, as for right now, no matter which brand, it will be a hunk of plastic with holes and it will resemble the sound of a chainsaw, but it will get the job done for a kid who is learning to play.
American Oboist. I currently play on a Rigoutat Riec. She is beautiful.
