 Easy to Too Hard??
Author: Bill_D

I rented a Yamaha YOB211 to see if I'd like playing oboe. I find the 211 easy to blow, i.e., not uncomfortably resistant, and it responds with reasonable air pressure. Is this typical of most oboes? Perhaps it's the reeds or the 211 & reed(s) combo?

After about one month of playing experience, I'd like to purchase a good oboe, but I'm concerned that I might have to sacrifice the comfort I'm now enjoying.
