how much do those oboes cost? i guess i'm wondering if it's like $1000 off of a $10,000 oboe.

Actually, Jeff already has a Loree oboe.. so he is going to use the $1000 gift certificate to buy a new "bell" for his oboe, which is the "bottom part" of the oboe..the "bell" costs about $600...
OR technically, he could use the $1000 gift certificate someday to buy a new Loree oboe and trade in his current Loree oboe at the same time, which would make the deal even sweeter for him. But the $1000 grand prize is going in his Savings Account..

PS>.. JEff says he is going to use the "$1000 Gift certificate" to buy a "Gouger" for his oboe, which is a special reed-making machine, and it costs $1000.
so that is what he wants to use the $1000 gift certificate for.
and the $1000 cash money will go in his Savings Account..
