See if you can rent a good quality student oboe to begin with rather than buying one outright so if you don't get on with it, you can return it and that will cost you considerably less than if you bought one.

The only oboes up to €600 are either new Chinese ones of questionable quality or used student models in less than good condition. €600 should find you a decent rental instrument from a reputable maker (either new or used), plenty of reeds and also pay for a lot of lessons to get you going for a good while.
