 Re: Cigarette Papers: Any REAL Need?

I've used cig papers to "mop up" but am totally in the blow out and swabbing camp as the only way to really get the water out. Right now I am playing for Les Miserables - lots of exposed oboe all the way through. We are all individually mic'd and they are really hot, so they have asked me to not blow out my oboe during the show! This has been a real problem as I was getting TONS of water in the holes - from the C vent down to G - tons! And blowing and swabbing numerous times was not helping. I tried different swabs, putting papers under those keys during breaks, nothing was helping. So I finally brought my Laubin (backup) just in case - and then both of my oboes were full of water!

At that point I would just stop playing during some loud battle bit and quickly blow out as best I could, then swab like mad and use the papers to hopefully clear things out until the break. Not ideal, but I got through two shows that way. Then I decided to hold the oboe ALL the time, instead of picking up the EH as soon as I had a change (often there are say, 20 bars before I would play EH) This kept the oboe warmer, and since I've been doing that I haven't had water problems (knock on wood!) Tonight is closing and thus far the EH has been a real trooper - no water (again, knocking on wood). I've been bringing the Laubin every night just in case, but since I've been keeping it as warm as possible I haven't used it.

I have seen cover things for instruments - but I don't think in this situation I have time to put it on and off - maybe some sort of cape like thing...
