445 huh? Well you could always play some duets with a flautist. Just tell him you are tuned to 440 and you'll be okay :-)

Seriously though, there are pro reedmakers out there that can help a little. You'll need to ask for a reed to be made on a "long" staple, say 48mm or longer, and tuned below the normal C crow. You'll still have some intonation problems (some notes will be more out of tune than others), but it will help you keep in range.
If you have an oboe store nearby you should take it there to try some staples in the reedwell of the instrument, to make sure they fit without leaking (some old oboes have different diameter wells).

Your ISP says you are in Texas. Stephen Hiramoto of North Texas Oboe Reeds and cane may be able to direct you to a local reedmaker with whom you can experiment. Google for his website.
