All used instruments have gone through the repair shop for a tune-up and have undergone a cleaning process (for flutes & piccolos - we sanitize the headjoint, clean the body, and silver polish if necessary). There may be some cosmetic imperfections, but they do not affect the play or sound of the instrument.

Rental Program

Oboes are very expensive woodwind instruments and their rent-to-own cost would be extremely high per month, so we only offer them as a rent-to-rent instrument.

Most students who start playing the oboe begin their studies on a student-level instrument and then transition to a conservatory model after a year or two. Some instructors request their students begin on a conservatory model to get used to the extra key work early, so please check with your band program or teacher to see which model you should be renting.

Student level oboes rent for $45 per month and conservatory oboes rent for $90 per month, plus applicable county use tax.

All of our oboe rentals come with one reed, cork grease, a swab to clean the inside of the instrument, and the case.
