General Comments
Ward & Winterbourne TW1 - I have found this to be an excellent beginners oboe. The low notes are often difficult to sound out but sometimes will depend upon your reed and embrochure. This oboe has lasted me for 7 years so far and needed repairs only once. The keypads are needing replacement now due to compression. I would highly recommend this as a student/beginner oboe.
