OVERVIEW

The standard oboe with a professional sound.

The Yamaha YOB-241 student oboe provides an exceptional first instrument for aspiring woodwind players. Constructed from robust ABS resin with a natural wood-like matte finish, the YOB-241 delivers resonant tone and durability to withstand the rigors of practice and performance. Modified conservatoire keywork includes semi-automatic octave keys and essential trill keys to facilitate fingering, while silver-plated keys encourage precise technique and clean articulation. An ideal choice for school band programs, the Yamaha YOB-241 readies students for advancement with an oboe that inspires through both sight and sound.

The YOB-241 features an ABS resin body that provides enhanced protection against dents, dings, and cracks compared to traditional wooden oboes. Resilient and non-porous, ABS resin is unaffected by changes in temperature or humidity that can damage wooden instruments. Students can confidently transport and perform with the YOB-241, assured of an oboe that maintains pitch stability and plays as intended regardless of surroundings.

Yamaha configured the YOB-241 with essential trill keys such as C#-D#, F#-G#, Bb-B, B-C#, and C-D to facilitate proper fingering and articulation. Silver-plated nickel silver keys deliver a smooth feel and crisp response for clean transitions between notes. Covered keys protect moving parts from environmental damage while semi-automatic octave keys enable smooth octave shifts. The result is an oboe outfitted for the development of solid technique and expressive musicality.

Yamaha designed the YOB-241 with a modified conservatory system ideal for student players. Simplified in comparison to professional oboes, the modified conservatory system features an intuitive layout with optimal key placement for small hands. Students can grasp proper fingering positions and develop muscle memory at their own pace, aided by the YOB-241's beginner-friendly configuration.

Yamaha includes a hard shell OBC-240II case to properly house and transport the YOB-241 oboe. Padded interior cradles the instrument to prevent shifting and scratches. Spacious exterior pockets provide storage for reeds, cleaning supplies, and sheet music. With premium protection and smart organization, the OBC-240II case ensures the YOB-241 oboe maintains like-new condition during travel and storage.
