Drew,

I tried very consciously to open up (and not bite) and it really does seem to help.

I need to try that on my other oboe w/o Philly gizmo and see what happens.

I am not having troubles with d any more, but sometime A - E, Ab - Eb, so I am looking at your observation carefully (I'm doing Pictures At An Exhibition soon so need the A - E, Ab - Eb in good order).

So far, I can open and take in a slight bit more reed and things improve, although not 100% yet. And I think I detect some repositioning of the back of the tongue in the process.

Another thought is sine these passages are rare, I don't 'demand' it of myself, the reed and the oboe. I'll need to add it to the reed tests, and daily practice routines.

-Craig
