Re: Sharp F# and flat E

Thanks. I have a Rigoutat Expression that I just bought; my previous oboe was also a Rigoutat Expression of the same era, and did not have this problem. But it had a flat high A and this one does not, so....I am not an expert reed maker, still struggling to get ones that work at all. So it may be reed, but when my teacher evaluated it he said the E was flat but did not mention the F#. His reeds work well on this model oboe, which he also used to play. I have not discovered anything yet about how to adjust an oboe, and would appreciate a reference that would allow me to study up on it. I"m quite reasonably mechanical so think it is something I could learn fairly fast. (as opposed to reed making, which continues to drive me insane.)
