Description: Up for auction is a gently used professional Yamaha "Custom" Duet YOB-841LT full conservatory wood oboe with a third octave key and an ebonite lined upper joint. All keys move freely and the pads/corks are in excellent condition. The oboe has been shop adjusted/regulated and is ready to be played. This oboe has minor scratches throughout from normal use and the lightly tarnished silver plated keys have minimal wear. There are no cracks present or repaired. The serial number is in the upper 0103xx range. This oboe has a left hand F key, an alternate C key, a split ring key, many trill keys and metal tenon ends. Included is a gently used Yamaha Custom wood shell oboe case with minor case wear on several edges and a Yamaha deluxe zippered case cover with several storage compartments. Yamaha oboes achieve a clear sound quality and superb intonation by dramatically improving the precision and stability of the bore. Also to cope with various durability issues inherent in wooden wind instruments, Duet+ models employ innovative techniques to form a protective layer next to the air column. The combination of precious wood and state-of -the-art resin is not simply a "Duet" of tradition and technology - it's a "Plus" advantage indeed!Ebonite LiningThe upper joint body is drilled out slightly larger, where a thin ebonite pipe with an oboe bore is adhered. Ebonite is an excellent material for wind instruments, as is proven with top-grade mouthpieces for saxophones and clarinets as well as bassoon liners. Much knowledge was derived from our own bassoon manufacturing, and with further engineering, Yamaha successfully developed oboes with the reliability and warmth of wood.ToneholesEvery tone-hole (except metal octave vents) is lined with POM resin for air-tight, stable contact between each pad. In the rare event that the wood should crack, the damage to the tone-hole profile and intonation would be minimal thanks to the inserts.EngravingThe trademark logo is engraved on the back of the upper joint.Specifications:System: Conservatoire (semi-automatic octave system)Bore style: AmericanKey systems: Identical to models without the 'L' suffixMechanical features: Left-hand F key, Fork F resonance key, Low Bb resonance (vent)Trill keys: Low B-C#, low C-Db, C#-D#, D#-E, F#-G#, G#-A, Ab-Bb, A#-B, B-C#, left C-D, right C-DBody material: Grenadilla Ebonite Inner-pipe (upper joint)Key materials: Silver-plated nickel silver keysToneholes: POM resin (except metal octave vents) Winning U.S. bidder is to pay $135.00 for UPS 2nd Day Air shipping, handling and insurance.
