Yamaha YOB-431 - Oboe

Our Intermediate models feature a design based upon our Custom models, and are produced with the same painstaking care. Like our top models, they also receive a high level of hand crafting, and the same experienced artisans oversee every step in their production. These oboes feature surprisingly accurate intonation and are comfortable and responsive to play. Their tone characteristics feature a rich spectrum of colors permitting the most subtle musical expression. And the keys have been carefully designed for ergonomic comfort as well as a balanced playablity.

System: Simplified Conservatoire (semi-automatic octave system)

Key Design

The ergonomic key design is based upon the Custom series for comfortable performance.

Durable Mechanisms

Designed to be durable and maintenance-free, these oboes feature hinge rods rather than pivot screws on the low C and C# keys.

Thumb-plate Key

A thumb-plate key is available by special order.
