Re: B not always speaking properly

Sounds like there's a problem with the silencer cork on the con bar, or the con bar could be bent at the lower end.

With the oboe assembled now, is there a slight gap (or double action) between the lower end of the con bar and the connection from the RH1 fingerplate while the thumbplate is held down? You should be able to feel this when you close RH1 slowly. If there's no double action, that could be the problem as the con bar is being held up at the lower end.

Now check the upper end of the con bar. Is there a gap between the end of the con bar and the adjusting screw (arrowed No.1 in the diagram) when RH1 is closed and the thumbplate is held down? I realise it's a bit tricky to hold them both down and check at the same time, but see if you can.
