Could be that the reed has closed down too much to be of any use. Or that too much has been taken out of the back. Remedy is to make a new reed, ensuring that the spine goes all the way to the tip of the tip on both sides of the reed. If the reed is half way decent, having this spine, btw which must be perceptible when backlighted, will guarantee the lows voicing. Of course as voboe mentioned, the fingers must properly cover the holes. The oboe must not have any leaks. The F resonance key must close completely. If it doesn't it must be adjusted until it does. My 2¢

Best,

john
