Hi guys, I am 28 years old. I have played oboe since I was 14. For 12 years, I played on a Howarth oboe, until I had to change teachers. My new teacher advised me to change to my existing Marigaux oboe. Because I have always played the Howarth, it has been a difficult transition for me. Now I am no longer using my teacher, I am wanting to resort back to the original oboe.

I was hoping someone could steer me in the right direction. I live in Sydney AUSTRALIA. Does someone have an interest in a Marigaux (hardly used). And does anyone have a Howarth (that is preferably an XL model) that they are interested to sell or swap. The other option is, can I send the Oboe to a place that will do exchange etc. If so, how do I organise this from my country?

I look forward to hearing back from someone soon, and thanks!!!!
