Subj: Re: [DR-L] oboe- high F

Hi Miriam,
I don't know anything about your level of playing so
sorry if this is a bit remedial.
Unless you have a problem with flatness on your both
of the G#'s, in and above the staff, I wouldn't do
anything as drastic as raising the height of the G#
pad.
The two standard fingerings for F are the most stable,
although there is a short fingering (I /2-g#|---). But
if I remember correctly, the 2 standard fingerings
work well for the Serenade: (I /2-g#d#|-23) when
coming from D or E and (I /2-B|g#-23d#) when coming
from Eb. I suggest you first make sure that you're
taking enough reed into your mouth and then adjust the
pitch with your embouchure.
If that doesn't work, the following link has more
fingerings to try:
