After many years, I just realized my dream of owning an oboe. I love the sound, but even used they can be a bit pricey on a blue collar income.
This one is a Buescher Aristocrat, which from what I've been able to learn means probably a Lesher. I haven't taken a survey (I don't know what to look for yet!) but it has more keys than I know what to do with.
It came with a standard grey case with the Buescher logo plate missing and a receipt from the music shop where the technician had put it in playable condition. No other accessories.
So for $172 after shipping I have a basic model student oboe freshly inspected and professionally serviced.
Now off to the music store for cork grease and reeds.
