I've been playing the oboe for around 2 years, but it was hard for me to play the clarinet. I'm not sure whether it'd be hard for you to learn or not, but you can always try. As for price range, I got a new Buffet model last year for $4,000. It's one that will last me about 20 years if I take care of it. You could probably get a good used one for about $2,000-$3,000 if you want an advanced model.
