    Hello,
    I have been desperately selling my rarely used oboe for about a year, and still haven't received a single reasonable deal. I'm looking for EU buyers, and need the money quite urgently to pay out my rent.
    It's an Amati AOB-64 student oboe in very good condition.

    From my listing:
    Amati oboe, model AOB 64
    Rarely used oboe, bought it used for 850€, now selling it in the same condition as bought. No cracks or other severe damage. There might be some loose screws and the finger pads are a bit yellow, but that comes with age.
    Overall it's about 10 years old, according to the original seller.

    I had it inspect with professional oboist and he found no damage at all, the instrument plays very well.
    Upon request, I can obtain signed document of him regarding the inspection.
    Package comes with carrying case and one reed.

    Price: 500€
    For photos, see here

    If I can ask you, fellow Audiosexer, please ask your friends and relatives, if they need one.
    I might be able to ship it outside EU...

    Thanks!

    have you tried asking local music teachers if they have any new students looking to buy?

    ha ha, double reed players are not right anyway. Too much back pressure on the brain. Almost always the most eccentric people in the orchestra. What the stuffed casing guy said, (Mr. Sausage). Finding people who have much to do with acoustic instruments here is not very productive, probably.---I don't know if you have access to ebay or something similar to "Craig's List" (a free listing service here in the U.S.). Maybe an orchestra specific forum. Must be some out there. Oboe players with cash---yeah, I see 'em all the time. Good luck.....
