 Re: Do older wooden oboes hold their tune?

By 'slightly lighter' I mean marginally lighter so both pads close together, but the fingerplates close with slightly less pressure than the vent keys they control when tested with the thinnest cigarette paper feeler gauge. Finger pressure will always be greater than pads closed remotely (via a linkage and adjusting screw) and no-one plays with an excessively light touch otherwise they won't be able to seal the holes in the fingerplates.

If they're the other way round with the vent keys closing with lighter pressure, the danger is if the silencing material under the adjusting screw tips compresses, the vent keys won't fully close.
