Because of the predominance of flat keys in band-parts, oboists who play in bands frequently use forked-F as their primary F. some bandmasters unwittingly promote this, as well.
Good to know you are not on that particular bandwagon!
Some oboes have a roller on the bottom edge of the RH F key, which makes it easy to transition from F to D without flubbing in the middle. Haven't seen this on recent instruments, however.
And Mike - tell us about the Loree!
