Handworked keys
Skilled artisans braze and adjust all keys on Yamaha oboes by hand to optimize the balance of each instrument.
Newly designed undercut tone holes
Also similar to the YOB-841 professional model, the new tone hole design provides the player with a smooth even response and improved intonation.
Nickel silver bell ring
