Susan,

My thoughts on your F problem: I think the F resonance key rod may need lubrication. Unscrew the rod holding the F res key, wipe it clean & then oil it very lightly. Run a pipe cleaner through the rod sleeve. Put the key back on the oboe & see if this helps. It's very important to keep the F resonance linkage well lubricated at all times. If this fails to produce an improvement, then there are most likely adjustments needed, as you said when your oboe comes back from being adjusted, it plays OK. I recommend the Pat McFarland Oboe/EH Adjustment Guide. It's well illustrated & very specific as to what to tweak. I refer to it about once every two or three months when I clean out the octave holes & lube the top tube long key rod that holds the fingering keys. The F res key rod always gets a squirt of oil as well.

Worth a shot at least.

Best,

john
