Yamaha Oboe YOB-241

The Yamaha YOB-241 is considered by many educators to be the perfect student oboe.  Featuring a durable ABS resin body, this instrument will hold up against moisture and temperature.  Other new features include a redesigned highly polished bore for enhanced tonal quality, as well as a redesigned undercut tone hole for a smoother response and accurate intonation.

Features:

Newly designed, highly polished bore
The new bore design which incorporates vertical integration is similar to that of the YOB-841 professional model. This results in improved projection and improved tonal qualities.
Newly designed undercut tone hole design
Also similar to the YOB-841, the new taper to the tone hole design provides the player with a smooth response and even intonation.
Nickel-silver bell ring
The bell ring increases effective density of the bell for a quicker response and a more focused sound.
French taper pivot screws
French taper pivot screws are designed for precise adjustment and increased longevity.
Stainless steel springs
Durability, key balance and a more comfortable feel are all benefits of using stainless steel as the spring material.
