I agree with Oboi, and I agree with Ck.
When the oboe is hindering your ability to improve, it is time to look for a new oboe. Most things that hinder your improvement are a lack of full conservatory keywork, blow out bore, or an oboe that requires you to scrape a reed to compensate for it's inabilities. For example if the oboe is blown out and spreads in the top register, therefore you're scraping a the back too much to make it focus and the whole reed eventually collapses, you'll never learn how to make a solid reed.
I also would agree with CK that changing oboes because your reeds are not matching the instrument at the time is not the most solid reason, but if your teacher's reeds consistently don't line up with a new oboe, it's certainly easier to find one that does! Most oboists aren't really interested in spending the months (and I do mean MONTHS) of reedmaking to really settle in with a new oboe, not to mention settle in with their student's new oboe, so it's easiest to "subscribe to their system" until your competent to branch out on your own.
