Are you looking for a list of essential mechanisms that will get you through ABRSM Grade 8? Many of the trill mechanisms won't be needed for most of the Grade 8 pieces. By picking the three exam pieces strategically, you can do with the bare minimum.
For ABRSM Grade 8, the low B-C sharp articulation is important, particularly if you cannot slide or roll your right hand little finger from the C key to the C sharp key. The low B-C link, usually a hindrance for my day-to-day playing, is essential for the slurred B major apreggio. The right hand Ab key is essential for the F sharp major scale (two octaves), if you use the long fingering for the high Eb. If your oboe doesn't have a left F, you will need a very good forked F, which means the forked F resonance mechanism is almost a necessity.
