Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
I'm an oboe major in college- Let me tell you be very careful what you buy on Ebay or a bargain sight!. If you just want one to putts around with look in the ads in the news paper and have an oboist you know test it before you purchase it!. Oboes can need a lot of work as they need a specialist to fix- It may cost you more to repair it if you make a bad call on ebay!. There are 3 types of oboes, basic, modified and conservatory!. Basic oboes almost always GARBAGE! They are plastic and lack keys essential for playing music!.

Here's the cheapest you'll get, but it's plastic!. Sounds like a great instrument from reviews!.

Here's a slightly more expensive, but wood and from a more well known oboe/bassoon provider

I'd highly recommend contacting wwbw and they'll probably be able to hook you up with an oboe expert that can help you make a good choice given your financial condition!.
