Ok, so here's what I need...
1. Intermediate/Professional oboe that can be used throughout highschool and college
2. Fairly inexpensive
3. Left Hand F
4. Down to low Bb
5. 3 main trill keys

Thank you so much!

That would be *** Choosing Obviously I have spelling issues >.<

Hm. I would say find a specialty shop near you and try out the oboes.

Off the top of my head...
Fox model 330 is modified conservatory, but has the left F and Bb. I don't remember how many trill keys it has.
Rigoutat RIEC is another that's interesting.

Try looking online, most intermediate oboes are in the 2000-4000 range.

Thank you

And this Pin the Tail on the Oboe article gives an interesting look at the tastes of an audience for specific oboes:

The pintail link didn't seem to work. If you google "pin the tail on the oboe" and click "Cached" you'll see it.

Thanks again! Those links were really helpful... If anyone wlse reads this, could you tell me what type of oboe you play on andd what you like and dislike about it? Thank you! I feel like I need some first hand opinions.

I have a yamaha oboe that I love! :-)

It is made of wood and has a beautiful tone, but is a little on the expensive side (about $3,000)

but is a little on the expensive side (about $3,000)

Expensive = Loree $10,000

If i were u, i would get a Fox 450.it has 3rd octave and all.i have one, and it works great.its half plastic half wood

I have a Covey Traditional. It's wood and has a really beautiful tone, but it was about $6,000.

I would go for the fox 300, full conservatory, very nice instrument, but it is durable plastic.

I would strongly recommend a Marigaux - Perhaps the Strasser model would be suit your needs.

The sound quality is second-to-none...dark and rich, and every Marigaux oboe has it's own unique sound quality.

At least, I think it is one you should consider!
