Description
Student oboe with many professional features.

Yamaha YOB-441 Series Intermediate Oboe
An innovative concept in oboe design, the the Yamaha YOB-441P combines the best of features of both other models for an oboe with rich warm granadilla tone, yet which is highly resistant to cracking. The lower joint and bell are of the same select quality grenadilla as the 441, but the upper joint is made of matte finish ABS resin for crack-proof durability. This model was created for players who prefer the natural resonance of grenadilla wood, but perform in conditions of less than ideal temperature and humidity.

Trill keys are C#-D#, F#-G#, Ab-Bb, A#-B, B-C#, left C-D, right C-D, and the auxiliary keys include a left-hand F key, and a Fork F resonance key. It has an American bore style with 19 cork and 2 felt pads, a Simplified Conservatoire system (semi-automatic octave system), and silver-plated nickel silver keys. A 400 eries case is included.

"Excellent Investment"

My son was ready for an upgrade from his Selmer student oboe. His instructor recommended looking at the Woodwind & Brasswind's website. Considering our budget, he advised us to get the all Grenadilla Intermediate Yamaha oboe. It has been a wonderful instrument with an excellent tone. My son since has received a scholarship for which he was runner up last year. Additionally, WWBW was accurate in gauging the time period needed to receive this custom oboe. They kept me up to date with the status in construction, and then when it was shipped from the factory. During that waiting period, WWBW ran a 10%discount special for new orders. They extended this special discount to me even after my order was placed, simply because I requested it. The company also followed up with us to see how the instrument was meeting our standards. Both the quality of the instrument and the service of WWBW has been superior.

This is a great instrument! It plays great and the wood just makes a better, clearer tone. Perfect for any student musician.

Don't get this oboe. Spare yourself the frustration and just get the fox student model. The service on WWBW may be great, (good jod guys), but the oboe isn't. It has terrible intonation and tone problems. If you're looking to continue music all your life, (me) just get on with a Loree and not this one.
