Stick with a recognised and well respected oboe make as they often make the full range of oboes from entry level through to top pro level models.

Never buy a Chinese oboe as not only are they poorly made, but they have a low resale value (if any) and very few repairers will be prepared to even look at them when problems surface.

Also it has to be said that Buffet student model oboes aren't made by Buffet (just like the B12/Prodige clarinets) - only the pro models are made by Buffet.

So stick with companies that are still making oboes based in England (Howarth/Albion), France (Fossati/Tiery, Loree/Cabart, Marigaux/Strasser, Rigoutat/Riec), Italy (Bulgheroni, Patricola), Japan (Yamaha) and the USA (Fox/Renard).

Bundy oboes aren't bad beginner instruments, but make sure they've been well maintained like any should you find one for a good price. The plastic ones are much better than the wooden ones as they're less likely to have warped or cracked joints.
