Comment on the Barrington when you've seen one with it's name on it!!!

It's carried only by the WW&BW:

The person is asking about the Yamah 221 and Barrington which are the some of cheapest of available oboes at around $800 USD.

The Howarth S20 is a $3500 USD oboe.

One of many.

Here's the results of a little event that pits various oboes against each other, should a $3500 oboe be in the original posters price range:

(note: Yamaha 211 & 411 share the same bore design, at the time there were no other sub-$1000 oboes to compete with the 211)

Here's the price listings of most professional oboes:
