I think it's really a matter of choice My suggestion is the more formal way whereas "first" is the informal way of saying it.

Note from asker:
Thanks Itzik!
I learn in the wiki link you provide that indeed "principal" is used, although followed by "(first) oboist". Hence, it might be a matter of choice. Thanks again.

Thank you Sangro. It's what I thought in the first place, but then I encountered different approaches (see Itzik's answer, for example).
