Hi,
I wonder if you fine folks wouldn't mind helping me solve a hugely irritating problem that has just cropped up in the last few weeks when playing low E and F (but not forked F) where these notes will, seemingly at random, play an octave up.
e.g. if I play a simple descending scale from C5 to C4 I'll get C5, B4, A4, G4, F5 or F4, E5 or E4, D4, C4. with the F5 and E5 sounding once in the scale, then next time I'll get the correct F4 and E4, then the next two times an F5 and E5 again.
There appears to be no pattern to it and it happens with all of my reeds, and of course, it appears right at the time when almost every piece we're playing at the moment is littered with these notes.
Any bright ideas come to mind?
(If it's relevant the oboe in question is a Howarth S20C with an added thumbplate.)
Thanks!
Kevin.
