Re: which oboe to buy!!!!!

I am an oboe teacher, and I have recently helped one of my oboe students choose a student oboe.

For a plastic oboe, I recommend a Fox Renard 330 for an intermediate student oboe (price range $2500 - $4000), and I recommend the Fox 300 for an advanced student oboe (price range $4000 - $6000). For a wood oboe I recommend the Howarth S40C for an intermediate student oboe and the Howarth S50C for an advanced student oboe.

The above intermediate oboes have all your essentials keys except for the split D key, which is used for the D#-E trill. The above advanced oboes have all of your essential keys. I do not consider the third octave key as an essential key.

To simplify your decision, I recommend deciding on a price range and then whether you want wood or plastic. Try out a few and then buy the one you like the best.

Hope this helps.
