New versatile American-style oboes for comfortable playing

Duet+ upper joint

Duet+ is a patented technology of Yamaha. The wooden inner bore and tone holes are coated with ABS resin. This prevents moisture from soaking into the body, making it durable despite changes in temperature or humidity. It is designed to preserve as much as 90% of the wooden portion, preserving the oboe’s sound and resonance.
