Re: Oboe Fell Over -- HELP

It's a bent C#/Eb steel - the C#/Eb keys are both mounted on a pinned steel where the C# touch operates the C# pad.

Both those pieces are screwed (or pinned) to the steel and the Eb key runs on the same steel, so that's most likely the key that's been bent and is binding on the steel.

To straighten it out means taking it all apart, straightening out the steel (which must be done carefully due to the pinning holes driled through it) and also the Eb key barrel needs straightening out.

There is no quick fix for this - only quick fix is to borrow someone else's oboe for the concert unless you can take it to your tech pronto.
