Yamaha YOB-441IIAT Oboe

The globally popular 441 series has been renewed with additional keys and features to increase comfortability in performance. One addition is the third octave key as indicated by the new series name "441T." This improvement enables players to perform without stress or difficulty.

The bell bore has been redesigned to improve the intonation of the middle range. In addition, the Low-Bb resonance key improves the intonation of the Low-Bb.

A low B-C# trill can be easily performed, just by opening and pressing down the B key while holding the C# key.

All the pads are made of cork. This reduces pad noise.

The thumb rest has a strap ring. Using a strap improves playability by reducing pressure on the right-hand thumb which can put extra strain on the shoulder and the neck.
