I really want to play the oboe, which I've always admired!! I bought this one used, but I'm so busy with work and studying for qualifications that I haven't had any time to practice, so I'm putting it up for sale. I was able to produce a good sound when I practiced, so I think the instrument is in good working order. Please have it repaired by the buyer ( . .)"

It is lighter than wood, so it is less of a burden to hold for students who are playing the oboe for the first time, and it is a very easy material to handle. In addition, it has a light blowing feel and uses a semi-automatic system that makes it easy for beginners to play. It is ideal for students who will be joining a band and for young children who want to start playing the oboe. The body uses synthetic wood, which is safe for outdoor use, while still providing a blowing feel and tone similar to that of a wooden body. By mixing wood powder, a mellow tone and moderate blowing feel can be obtained. The most common Conservatoire system (French system), and the octave key is semi-automatic, which is easy for beginners to play with a light blowing feel. Keys made of nickel silver, which is durable and has good acoustic vibration characteristics, are used. The finish is also silver-plated, producing a rich tone. #BrassBand/WoodwindInstrument #Oboe #MusicalInstrument
