Best For Professional Students

Yamaha YOB-241B

This is a more affordable ABS resin body oboe with a simplified Conservatoire system, making it simpler to play for beginners.

Students can concentrate more on creating their own musical nuances because of the accurate intonation. Even a total beginner will get a wonderful tone on the 241B because of its distinctively warm oboe tone, which is extremely similar to that of a professional instrument.

Best For Young Students

Howarth S10

It’s a well-known oboe, preferred by Education Authorities and Music Services, especially across the U.K.

Top teachers endorse it – and in fact, I began learning the Oboe on this very instrument!

The Howarth B Model oboe is acknowledged as the greatest English student system oboe in the industry, and many of today’s professional players started their musical training on one.

Due to its compact finger spacing for the smaller hand and lightweight design that makes it easy to handle, the instrument is especially well-suited for young students.

FAQ's

Is the oboe a good beginner instrument?

Learning to play the oboe can be a challenging experience, but it’s an excellent choice for beginner musicians. They’re designed to encourage and support players from complete beginners up to grade 4 or 5. They’re made to emphasise ease of response and control, which is essential for beginners to enjoy the instrument.

Beginner oboe reeds should also be easy to hold and play with, and minimal resistance allows the player to produce a nice sound with little effort. It should be handmade and tested for optimal playability to help ensure success when playing. Successful players develop good habits, such as proper embouchure and regular practice. Overall, the oboe is an excellent instrument for beginners who are willing to put in the time and effort to master it.

What is the best beginner's oboe?

Investing in these oboes like Yamaha YOB-241B, Buffet 4121 or BC4131, and Howarth S10. These models encourage players of all levels to achieve their best performance. Avoid purchasing a “beginner’s oboe” due to poor quality and lack of resale value; consider intermediate oboes or options.

How much does a beginner oboe cost?

If you’re an aspiring oboist, you might be curious to know how much a beginner oboe would cost. For a good-quality, brand-new instrument, a beginner oboe can be around $1,700, which might vary for different models. Some popular beginner oboes in the market are Yamaha YOB-241B, Buffet 4121, and Howarth S10.

As a beginner, you might also want to purchase reeds that are easy to play with minimal resistance. EG-REEDS offers beginner oboe reeds that fit this criterion. The price may jump to $3,000 or more for an intermediate-level of oboe, while professional quality can cost $6,000 or more. However, it’s recommended to start with a beginner oboe and upgrade gradually as you improve your skills.

    It’s fascinating to see the Howarth S10 recommended for younger students. I’ve always wondered how transitioning between wind instruments might affect one’s adaptability and learning curve. This could be a great option for those looking to branch out. Great article!

      Sara, totally agree on the transition bit. The S10 is super approachable for beginners and makes switching so much smoother.

    I gotta say, Katie , your choices are solid. But don’t you think including a more budget-friendly pick could’ve helped? Not everyone can drop a grand or more on their first instrument. Still, good rundown on the ones you picked.

    Hey, do you think the Yamaha YOB-241B would be too advanced for someone who’s never played a wind instrument before? I’ve got a music background, but this would be a new venture for me. Thanks for any advice!

      You’ll be fine with that model. Yamaha makes them pretty user-friendly for beginners. Go for it!

    Absolutely love the insights here, particularly on the Buffet Prodige BC4131. I’ve recommended it to several of my beginner students and it’s reassuring to see it getting the recognition it deserves in your write-up,
    Katie . The ease of play and sound quality for its price point is unmatched for newbies. Would love to see more articles like this breaking down instruments by skill level!

Ted's List is a project run by The Emery Foundation - a Micro-Trust of GivingWorks, registered charity number 107877.

The idea of Ted's List was setup to raise funds for musicians during the Covid-19 pandemic as part of the Get Musicians Working project.

Our 'Champions' are the musicians we think showcase their instrument to the wider public, and make a substantial difference to the popularity of their instrument family. Non of the 'Champions' are remitted in any way by Ted's List, and our list is completely impartial. If you have a favourite musician you would like to nominate to be added to our list of 'Champions', then please do contact us.
