Re: Instrument intonation question

So I also have a question about intonation; I find that if I "just blow" my very fine oboe is of course not completely in tune, varying by as much as 20 or 25 cents up or down on a pitch, with airflow and embouchure as steady as I can keep them for the test.

And I know that the note position in the chord will affect the pitch I actually want to play, making adjustments in embouchure necessary. But I'm wondering if this is going to end up being more similar to a brass instrument than I had thought, in which essentially a different embouchure setting has to be used for every note!! I don't mean "move your whole face" but "adjust your lips" for every note. True? Somehow I had thought that once my embouchure matured and stabilized, that the pitch variation that I hear when 'just blowing' would settle down.
