Re: best oboe to buy for a student

The Fox 300 is a fully loaded pro level oboe, so that should be an excellent instrument and will last a lifetime. It will also make an excellent back-up oboe when she gets her first pro level wooden oboe so that will be good for cold churches, playing outdoors, travelling or anywhere that poses a risk to an all wooden oboe.

When buying a wooden oboe, only buy them around April-May time when the weather is becoming more humid and they'll be played in by the time winter sets in when the heating comes on and humidity levels drop. That will also reduce the risk of it cracking. Never buy wooden oboes in late autumn or winter.
