 How Do We Select a Good First Oboe??
Author: nat1dbh

Our 12 yr old son has been playing oboe in his middle school band for 5 months. We have been renting him a Selmer student model (we were told it's value was $1,550). In our ignorance, we thought this was a "good" instrument! After reading many posts on this site and doing a lot of on-line reading, we realize his oboe is bottom of the line. We are planning to purchase a better oboe and would like your input on how to select a quality instrument and possible recommendations from all of you. Are there certain models with better resale value? What are the pros and cons of wood over plastic resin for the young oboist?

Thank you :-)
