 Re: F4 and E4 randomly becoming F5 and E5

Especially since the phenomenon is intermittment, I would suggest the following (all related to the small vent below the F# key):

1) There may be an adjustment imbalance in the little vent right below the F# key vis-a-vis the E and D keys below it, so that the vent is not closing adequately.

If you know how to adjust your oboe, I would try that first (or find someone who knows how to adjust who could give that a try).

2) There could also be a small leak or incomplete pad closure on that vent irrespective of adjustment issues. This flaw would give the same effect as putting on the octave key.

3) There may be debris of one sort or another in the tone hole, or on the edge of the tone hole, that is creating the same effect.
