Pre-Owned Yamaha YOB-241 Standard Student Oboe - ABS Resin
We have the ultimate beginner and school band instrument in the shop today. The Yamaha YOB-241 is universally recommended by band directors and double-reed instructors because of its incredible durability, spot-on intonation, and surprisingly warm, rich sound that rivals many wooden instruments.
Built with a highly durable ABS resin body, this oboe is specifically designed to withstand the rigors of school use and changing weather conditions without the terrifying risk of the body cracking. It features a simplified Conservatoire key system with semi-automatic octave keys, stripping away some of the complex, unnecessary keywork to make learning the instrument vastly easier for younger players or doublers. If you are looking for a reliable, fantastic-sounding oboe to kickstart a musical journey, this is the one.
Key Features
-
ABS Resin Body: Features a matte finish that looks just like real grenadilla wood, but the ABS resin construction makes it virtually immune to cracking from temperature or humidity changes.
-
Simplified Conservatoire System: Designed specifically for beginners, this key system features an intuitive layout and semi-automatic octave keys to make learning fingering positions a breeze.
-
Silver-Plated Keys: Outfitted with highly durable nickel-silver keys finished in genuine silver plating, giving the instrument a premium feel and clean articulation.
-
American-Style Bore: Designed with undercut tone holes to provide a characteristically warm, colorful tone that will encourage any student to keep playing.
