Elkwoman, I would stay away from that music store! Alas, oboes are rare enough that to get a good one, it would best to find a dealer that sells and repairs a lot of oboes. I think once you've started working with a teacher you can get guidance on where to purchase an instrument.

However, if you're eager to try an instrument before take lessons, you might want to contact Pat McFarland in the Atlanta area for suggestions. He plays in the Atlanta Symphony and has been in the oboe business for a long time. Here is his web page: http://www.mcfarlanddoublereed.com/

Unless you live in a major urban area, chances are that you will not be able to walk into a store and pick up a good oboe. You'll probably either have to travel or have the instrument shipped to you.
