What MODEL is Yamaha Oboe Serial?

The model of a Yamaha oboe can usually be identified by the serial number. The serial number is typically stamped on the left side of the upper joint of the oboe, just below the thumb rest. It consists of a single letter followed by a series of numbers.

The letter corresponds to the model of the oboe:

* Y - Student model

* YAS - Professional model

* YSP - Custom model

The numbers indicate the production run of the oboe. For example, a Yamaha oboe with the serial number Y012345 would be the 12,345th oboe produced in the student model line.

In addition to the serial number, Yamaha oboes also have a model name engraved on the center of the upper joint. For example, a Yamaha YAS-23 oboe would be a professional model oboe from the 23rd production run.

Here is a table of Yamaha oboe models and their corresponding serial number letter:

| Model | Serial Number Letter |

|---|---|

| Student | Y |
