Jeremias,
My d'amore is still fully automatic and the addition of the 2nd 8ve touch is fitted to the part of the mechanism that keeps both the 8ve vent pads closed (which is in the same position as the 2nd 8ve key barrel and operated by the back 8ve touch).
I had the extra touch fitted for security as I kept instinctively reaching for the 2nd 8ve touch (instead of using the thumb touch) on large intervals or jumps to high A up to C (as you'd do with semi automatic 8ves) and kept hitting the trill key overlevers with the side of LH1 instead, so inadvertently opening them didn't help.
A 2nd 8ve touchpiece can be fitted to most fully automatic oboes that don't have one (some older automatics may have both touches fitted) and duplicates the thumb 8ve key.
