Grenadilla is the material of choice for intermediate- and professional-grade oboes, due to its dense grain, moisture-repellent qualities, eye-catching look, and warm tone. For the YOB-441, Yamaha selected the highest-quality grenadilla, which is seasoned for improved performance. The YOB-441 is populated with silver-plated keys in a modified conservatory key system, with a thick key plating for added expressiveness. The keys are fitted with a combination of cork and felt pads to provide you with a dynamic feel, a rich tonality, and buzz-free playing. Moreover, the YOB-441 sports ABS resin toneholes, ensuring optimum intonation and a uniform response up and down the instrument.
Typically, beginner oboes are outfitted with a very simplified key system, which allows young students and beginner players to practice and learn the fundamentals of the instrument without being bogged down with complex fingerings. However, now that you’re ready to advance, the Yamaha YOB-441 presents you with a modified conservatory key system, which includes a left-hand F, a forked-F resonance key, a low Bb key, and numerous trill keys. Get ready to expand your repertoire and explore exciting new techniques!
