I forgot to answer some questions on fingering systems. The less expensive instruments usually have two octive keys, more expense instruments sometimes have 3 octave keys---the third for notes above high C. also some differences my Cabart has an alternate F played with left hand finger (somewhat like the Bb clarinet alternate side B or C# keys) used for some passages to make smoother transitions. Also my instrument has an extra resonating pad that opens so that the forked F sounds more in tune.
However I would say if you gave a student grade instrument to a well trained oboist, the player through practice would make the instrument sound great.
When I trained in college I made reeds in both cuts German and French. My instructor was French however so I have gone to the french cut.
Vibrato can be both lip and diaphram but it has to be controlled and many players use diaphram since you don't want to have the reed moving around too much in your lips---you are asking for missing notes.
