Re: sudden loss of lower joint notes

That happened to me with my oboe, which I was keeping on the stand. Suddenly the lower joint notes would only play an octave up. I took it to a shop who told me it needed a total cleaning and adjustment (a well known shop, too, and a two hour drive away.) At the shop it played fine after they worked on it, but the next day, bingo same problem. I finally tracked it down, and it was just the slightest of twists such that my hands did not notice it but the oboe did. $250 down the drain, never to return to that shop that did not play test it before they reamed me.
