For sale is a pre-owned Yamaha YOB-211 Student Oboe, serial number 067xx. This is the industry-standard recommendation for beginning oboists. Made from durable, high-quality ABS Resin, this instrument offers a professional sound without the risk of cracking that plagues wooden oboes. It has been inspected by our shop and is in Great Playing Condition, ready for the band room.
This is the ideal instrument for the beginner to intermediate student. Oboes are notoriously delicate, but the YOB-211 is built to withstand the rigors of school band usage, temperature changes, and humidity fluctuations that would destroy a wooden instrument.
The YOB-211 Advantage
- ABS Resin Body: The body is made from high-grade matte finish ABS resin. It mimics the sound properties of Grenadilla wood but is impervious to cracking. This makes it perfect for marching band or young students who are still learning proper care.
- Yamaha Keywork: Features Yamaha's legendary key durability. The silver-plated keys are ergonomic and designed specifically for smaller hands.
- Condition Report: This instrument is in Great Playing Condition. The pads seal well and the mechanism is tight. Cosmetically, there are scratches throughout the body from normal student use, and the Yamaha logo on the upper joint has cosmetic damage/fading. These are purely aesthetic issues and do not affect the tone or response of the instrument.
