 I'm A Pre Oboe Beginner
Author: JudyP 
Date:   2006-10-08 08:09

Do you think it's appropriate for a retired person, who has never played an oboe, to purchase an oboe? I haven't had a lesson yet, but I do
have a teacher willing to teach me.

My problem is that I can't rent an oboe, and oboes are rare in my town for purchase. I have the opportunity to buy a used Renard (about 10 years old), model 330, for about $1900 bucks. Otherwise, I'll have to order something on the Internet. I've read about the Barrington 801, and my teacher likes the Yamaha 441. My other option is to just wait until later in the year when, perhaps, a rental might become available.

Any advice?

Thanks, Judy
