Agree with the previous posters. Do NOT buy a Chinese instrument. They are poorly manufactured, have pitch problems, and be impossible to adjust.

I recommend that you buy a used student model...the following are some examples of models and common prices:

- Yamaha YOB 241 or 211 - Under $1,000
- Bundy - Under $500
- Selmer student model - Under $500

I also recommend that you do NOT buy a wood oboe. In your price range, a wood oboe will be either very very old or possibly cracked and could involve expensive repairs.

Check out available instruments online on Reverb.com, eBay, and even Guitar Center.
