Re: Instrument intonation question

Great information here.

I checked the secondary e key as suggested above. I have a copy of McFarlands's Oboe Adjustment Guide. However his book does not actually say much about intonation. I used it to check the secondary e key using cigarette paper and it does seem correct. Just to experiment I tried moving the screw a little bit either way. That does change the pressure on the secondary key but made no difference to the pitch.

If I'm careful I can play the e in tune I just have to bring it down. I suppose if I practice that enough I'll get better at it when playing.

Thanks again.

Cheryl
