Description
Brand: Yamaha Skill Level: Intermediate
Model: YOB441 Country/Region of Manufacture: Japan


Yamaha Oboe YOB441P with Case. In very nice condition. It is marked as a YOB441 but the top joint looks to be plastic. Matching serial numbers. US sales only. Here is what I found on this model: <p>An innovative concept in oboe design, the 441P combines the best of features of both other models for an oboe with rich warm granadilla tone, yet which is highly resistant to cracking. The lower joint and bell are of the same select quality grenadilla as the 441, but the upper joint is made of matte finish ABS resin for crack-proof durability. This model was created for players who prefer the natural resonance of grenadilla wood, but perform in conditions of less than ideal temperature and humidity.<p>
