Yamaha YOB431M Oboe Simplified Conservatoire System

The YOB431M is made of top quality aged and seasoned Grenadilla wood for a rich 'professional' sound. The 431M has a semi-automatic octave system and the keys are hand-adjusted by experienced artisans for superb playability. The upper joint body is drilled out slightly larger around the bore and tone-holes. Thermoplastic ABS resin is injected into the cavity, instantly forming the inner shape of an oboe. It is designed to preserve as much as 90% of the wooden portion, while its natural appearance is hardly distinguishable from conventional all-wooden models.Yamaha oboes have achieved clear sound quality and superb intonation by dramatically improving precision and stability of the bore.
