An Heirloom-quality Oboe for Advanced Players

Built for professional and advanced oboe players in search of an heirloom-quality instrument, the Yamaha YOB-841 Custom Series oboe offers players a sonorous tone and sublime playability. Crafted from seasoned grenadilla with silver-plated nickel silver keys, the Yamaha YOB-841 is as beautiful to behold as it is sonically satisfying. An American-style bore delivers a clear, rich, and full-bodied sound with a focused center. Oboists at Sweetwater are blown away by the YOB-841’s ample projection and consistent tonality throughout the full range of the instrument. Plus, the Yamaha YOB-841 provides a supremely comfortable playing experience and a full conservatory key system for exploring advanced techniques. Finally, the Yamaha YOB-841 comes with a deluxe multifunctional case bag for safe transport to and from rehearsals and performances.

Seasoned grenadilla body and sculpted silver-plated keys

Grenadilla is the material of choice for professional-grade oboes, due to its dense grain, moisture-repellent qualities, eye-catching look, and warm tone. For the YOB-841, Yamaha selected the highest-quality grenadilla, which is seasoned for improved performance. The YOB-841 is populated with silver-plated keys in a full conservatory key system, with a thick key plating for added expressiveness. The keys are fitted with nine cork and 14 felt pads to provide you with a dynamic feel, a rich tonality, and buzz-free playing. Moreover, the YOB-841 sports POM resin toneholes, ensuring optimum intonation and a uniform response up and down the instrument.

Hand finished for superior performance

Beyond the grenadilla body, barrel, and bell, and superior silver-plated keys, the Yamaha YOB-841 boasts several top-notch appointments and hand-finished touches. Stainless steel needle springs are on deck to give you a smoother feel and swift action, and the YOB-841’s full conservatory key system allows for advanced playing techniques. When you get your hands on the YOB-841 for the first time, you’ll be blown away by its exquisite feel and sound. It’s a richly expressive, heirloom-quality instrument that will inspire your performances.
