Another tit bit of information about the S55c was that it is a thick bodied Oboe. My S2 is a thin bodied instrument. It is said that the thicker bodied Oboes are a bit 'heavier' (have more resistance) to play than the thinner bodied Oboes like my S2. From my experience , this is actually so. I remember that my old Bundy Thumb plate plastic Oboe was thin bodied and had a light resistance just like my S2. I still regret having departed with that Bundy Oboe. For what it was , it played and sounded remarkably well for a beginners Oboe and like the S2 was 'reed friendly'
