Hello,
I was wondering if everyone could please give me their opinion on which model oboe I should pucharse? I am from nz and it is very difficult to try any oboes here, so I am choosing amd ordering blind through reputable overseas sellers only.
I am a beginning adult oboe student. I have been playing the oboe for only 6 months, and have been playing on a Yamaha 211 student oboe. I am about grade three level, as I have played piano amd saxophone previously, so reading music etc is easy...it’s just the oboe that’s hard. :-)
I have about $5000 nz dollars to spend, and have researched possible options as below;
NEW: Delphine, cabart 74 ( at a financial stretch)
USED: Fox 300, Yamaha 411, Howarth ?
I am most likely never going to grow beyond playing in various community bands, however, tone is very important to me and I would like a nice mellow sound. No quacking ducks please! I will probably only ever buy the one oboe so would like to get the best that I can for me.
I would greatly appreciate people’s advice and insights.
Thank you very much
Teresa.
