Compare how simple the keywork is on a clarinet in comparison to an oboe - an average pro clarinet is around £1680-2000 (GB£) whereas a pro oboe is over £4200-4600. A plastic student clarinet is around £400 whereas a student oboe is around £1200.

Clarinets usually have only the one adjustment screw, whereas pro oboes have over 20, oboes as well as having more keywork have more pads to seat, more keys to make and regulate, more springs and pillars to fit.

And demand is indeed far less for an oboe than it is for a clarinet.

The opinions I express are my own.
