The 1492B student oboe from Selmer is an excellent choice for those learning to play this unique instrument. Selmer's roots go all the way back to the late 1800's, with brothers Alexandre and Henri Selmer, both graduates of the Conservatoire of Paris. Alexandre came to the U.S. in 1909 and played in the New York Philharmonic as principal clarinetist. He opened a store with instrument repair services and lessons and it was here that the seeds were sown for many future great American instrument brands including Selmer, Bundy, Haynes, and Gemeinhardt.
Student oboes are made of plastic, ABS resin, or some other composite material and have nickel-silver keys with nickel or silver-plating. Professional oboes are typically wooden with silver-plated or solid silver keys.
Resonite is a strong composite material developed by Selmer for use in student wind instruments to better mimic the tonal qualities of more expensive wooden instruments.
Silver-plating on keys is considered preferable to nickel because the silver holds up better over time and looks shinier. Solid silver keys found on more expensive oboes are even better because with proper care, they will never lose their luster.
