Oboes generally have a vent key covering the low Bb vent which only opens for the low Bb (usually connected directly to the bell key barrel) as shortening the bell to bring the low Bb up to pitch or having an open bell vent caused havoc with the Es.

Perhaps this is why full Oehlers have the closed low E and F mechanism that the player has to open with the RH thumb key as maybe the open standing bell vent caused grief further up the instrument (and probably made the upper register B sharp).

But oboes built to low B (US spec Yamaha 211 and Bundys) and Reform Boehms have an open vent hole (or holes) in the bell.

BTW David, I've never got round to trying the bell you sent me on my Selmers as I've been trying to open up/reshape the bell flare, and that's not an easy task on ebonite.
