Modified Conservatory Key System With Enhanced Low Range

Yamaha designed the YOB-441IIAT with a modified conservatory key system based on the oboes played in conservatories and music schools. The enhancements provide excellent tone and response in the low register, which can be tricky on student model oboes. A third octave key facilitates playing low Bb and B natural. The low Bb resonance vent provides vibrant tone on that note. A low B-C# trill key makes rapid trills snappy and clear. Together, these features give advancing oboists rich, singing tone from top to bottom. The YOB-441IIAT gives you the responsive, nuanced key work to progress in your studies.
