 Re: improving intonation of oboe with a technician

Howard,

I had an octave G that stuck out somewhat ... it had a slightly different timbre from the other notes and was sharp. Tuning the Oboe solved the problem.

Have you played on other instruments besides the Royale?

PS: As per Craig and others in the discussion ... I also agree that a poor (maybe unconscious) habit or reed can also be a culprit. I found this true of other problems I have experienced learning the Oboe. This was true of the Octave A ... used to pull the Oboe closer without realizing the movement as I went up the scale with the result of a sharper upper register! Also some reed adjustments were crucial in pitch stability and not playing sharp.

So it takes lots of time to figure these things out. I am sure you will solve the problem with time and persistence. You are a wonderful Oboist.

Good Luck.

Mark
