Your oboe is a precision instrument and can easily go wrong.
But you can equally easily correct minor faults yourself.
The secret is knowing what to look for - and of course, knowing what
to do when you find it.
Andrew May's brilliant little "get
you home" pocket book, helps you to keep your oboe in tip top
condition. He shows you how to correctly assemble and care for
your oboe. He also shows you how to detect faults, how to do
minor on the spot repairs and adjustments and, equally important,
when to take your oboe to your repairer.
Apart from the actual page shown above, Andy covers the following
problems:
1: Some of the screws on my oboe keep mysteriously
undoing themselves. What can I do about it?
2: I can only get a sort of high C# and nothing else.
What's wrong?
3: My F# is difficult to play.
4: My pads keep sticking.
5: I can see some of the skin covering on one of my
pads has torn and is hanging down. How do I replace the pad?
6: I can't get bottom C only the C#.
