[Details on Tone and Playing Feel]
All keys are covered keys, eliminating the need to cover holes, making fingering very easy.

The instrument features a keyless third octave, resulting in a simple structure with fewer keys and tone holes. This allows for better airflow and a straightforward playing feel.
Furthermore, the third octave range can be easily played by substituting the first octave key.

Convenient features such as the left F key and H-C# trill system are included, and the key layout is well-designed, making the instrument easy to hold.

Overall, this is an easy-to-play instrument with good responsiveness, making it user-friendly. It is recommended not only for beginners starting the oboe but also for those returning to the instrument after a long break.

[Accessories Included]

2 Reeds (adjusted for this instrument)
