OBOE

Oboe is a very specialist instrument.
There aren't many around and not many teachers either.
We are very much hoping this will begin to turn around as we raise the profile of the Oboe in school bands.
If you are looking to buy an Oboe, you really need to talk to an Oboe expert.

To give you an idea though, the Yamaha Student Oboe - YOB 241B cost around $2,500 currently.
If your school offers one to hire, that would be the best option to begin with.
