It depends on your playing level and what kind of music you enjoy playing. Marcello's concerto in D minor are not horribly difficult, and are very nice (especially the second movement).
Yes it is a very good oboe in general.

Well a classical song that the oboe is used in is the Oboe Concerto. A good rock song it is used in is Reign of Love by Coldplay. Hope this helps. You can listen to them on Grooveshark.
When played well, oboe is a very beautiful instrument. It is unique and interesting to play and a good solo instrument.
The oboe is a woodwind instrument. An "ill woodwind that no man blows good."
Perhaps the most famous spring song for oboe is the Morning Song from Edvard Grieg's Peer Gynt. The first movement of the Peer Gynt Suite opens with the very recognizable tune, first played by the flute, and then by the oboe. Another notable movement from this work is "In the Hall of the Mountain King", which is especially popular around halloween.
Oboe reeds either come out good or come out bad. I would stay away from Jones reeds if I were you.
Yes, the song "Handbags and Gladrags," performed by Rod Stewart, features an oboe. The instrument adds a distinct melodic quality to the arrangement, enhancing the overall emotional depth of the song. Its use contributes to the orchestral feel that characterizes this classic track.
This is an oboe. The wonders of google.
This depends on what quality oboe you want. If you are a beginner you can rent one from your local music shop for a reasonable price. Good Luck
