The best advice I've seen anywhere inre playing the oboe is the wisdom on Peter Hurd's superb website wherein he says to warm the oboe top & middle joints up by wedging the tenon ends under the armpits & gently squeezing down on the joints with the upper arms for at least five minutes before even thinking about blowing warm air into the bore. "Hatching them" is the metaphor he uses. Irrespective of temperature, this should be done no matter what the ambient temperature is. The difference between room temperature 68-70 degrees F. & body temperature 98.6 degrees F. is over 30 degrees. If it's any colder in the room, the potential for cracking increases even more. However, if the oboe is warmed up a la Hurd, the prevention of cracks more closely approaches reality.
Best,
john
