Re: forked F ever?

I think you should generally avoid forked-F, and you should not use the Eb key with forked F if your oboe has an F resonance key (the vent under the key cluster for the right hand little finger). To do so makes the F too sharp on most oboes and the voicing too bright compared to the notes around it.

Use forked F in keys like Ab major where you can't use left-hand F.
