Oboes are either made of Grenadilla wood (and African blackwood) or Plastic. Plastic is much cheaper but as you could probably guess the Grenadilla oboes have a much better sound.
Plastic is a little bit too general. If they are not made from wood (grenadilla, rosewood), oboes like these:

How do you make an old clarinet look brand new?
Take the pieces of the clarinet apart and remove the reed.
Step 2Dry the inside of the clarinet by threading a soft cloth back and forth through the top and bottom holes, as well as using a cotton swab to clean out the small air holes.
Step 3Dip a cotton swab into a container of silver polish and drag the swab over all of the silver parts of the instrument. It may be helpful to hold the piece of the clarinet in your non-dominant hand and the cotton swab with your dominant hand. Add more silver polish or use new swabs as necessary.
Step 4Remove a new microfiber polishing cloth from its package or inspect a used cloth to make sure it is washed and clean. Gently scrub each piece of the clarinet's barrel, in between the keys and other silver, nickel or metal platings, with the cloth until the instrument shines.

What is the differences between the Clarinet mouthpieces B45. and 5RV.?
What's called the "facing" of the mouthpiece is different. It's the same thing with virtually every mouthpiece model.
