We promise not to mock you [well, okay, maybe just a tiny bit ] because you bought a used Bundy for your first oboe, because we all know perfectly well that once the Oboe Bug has you firmly by the short hairs, you will be mooning around after some gorgeous Yamaha or Fox or Loree, and will be upgrading yourself at the earliest possible opportunity. Such are the ways of the Oboe, curse her and love her.
