 Re: Looking for first adult beginner oboe

A Fox/Renard 333 will be an excellent beginner/intermediate model plastic oboe - they're often listed on eBay or similar, but check the seller is reputable and also it's worth knowing how well maintained the oboe is.

Sometimes 'recently serviced' doesn't mean much as I've often seen allegedly 'recently serviced' instruments that were either only given a bit of a clean or poorly serviced to not having been serviced for at least a couple of years, so expect to put some money aside to have any used oboe professionally serviced by an oboe specialist.

Don't ever take an oboe to a large franchise type music shop for repair that sells mostly keyboards, guitars and sheet music and stocks some clarinet reeds and a handful of Chinese flutes, clarinets, saxes and brass instruments in a display case.

Former oboe finisher
Howarth of London
1998 - 2010

The opinions I express are my own.
