RE: Why Are Oboes So Expensive? ..... [yt]

Some WWs use Coca-Bola, some Box Wood, in addition to Mpingo , formerly
Grenadilla.
Clarinets can go for $10,000, Bass Cls $15,000.
Bassoons are as expensive as Cars!
And made of completely different wood.
The Mechanism is a Nightmare!
Even a Selmer Alto Sax is over $7000.

And a Clarinet is just a piece of wood with holes drilled in it,
usually in the wrong place...
