Ceri, you play short scrape reeds?
I assume you lift your half hole plate for the higher register, and that your half hole plate is adjusted to close as much as possible. Try:
023|000 + low C key
If that is flat, probably the low C key has been adjusted to close down the E key too much, there is a screw there that adjusts the height of that. If it responds badly, the half hole plate is not adjusted correctly and you have to bring it to a good repairman to take a look, or, try lowering it as much as you can just before it closes completely. If your high D, with the open fingering:
023|000
is flat, then you might have a problematic instrument, or that the reeds will not work at all for your oboe.
I hope you find a solution soon!
Regards,
Howard
