Re: Who plays an oboe other than Loree?

On conservatoire instruments I've been informed players generally lift their thumb off the joint and place it on the back 8ve key instead of rolling up onto it as sax, clarinet, flute (for the thumb Bb key) and thumbplate/dual system players do.

On pure conservatoire (with and without a 3rd 8ve key) and on thumbplate and dual system instruments without a 3rd 8ve key fitted, I still prefer to keep the thickness of cork on the back 8ve as thin as is possible or sand it down at the tip so it's completely flat on the underside even though the back 8ve touchpiece often has a curved tip. On thumbplate and dual systems I make the cork much thicker on both the back 8ve and thumbplate if there's a 3rd 8ve key fitted so there's no danger of accidentally touching it with the thumb knuckle during normal playing - the 3rd 8ve touch should be placed so it's well out the way for normal playing but can be reached when its needed. I bend the 3rd 8ve key so the touchpiece sits very close to the joint surface on thumbplate/dual systems to be sure it's out the way. This isn't a problem on pure conservatoire system instruments as the 3rd 8ve touchpiece overlaps the back 8ve touchpiece, so it's safely out of reach in normal playing.
