This may sound odd, but you can "train" your oboe to a certain degree. Make sure you play those notes perfectly in tune with a beautiful tone and your oboe will "remember" how to vibrate on those notes.

For the sharp E, you might check to be sure the Bb resonance key is completely closed... might also lower the D key a tiny bit. If the out of tunedness persists, there are some excellent technicians who can fine tune the intonation of your oboe after it breaks in and settles down to where it is going to be. But in the meantime, try as best as you can to play these notes in tune with a lovely tone so your oboe learns what it should do.

And congratulations on your new Patricola!
