That's funny that you say that because I had the same problem - less taking it to a repair person. I noticed that when you press on the first touch-piece on the lower joint it connects to an arm that has an adjusting screw to make contact with the lowest tone hole cup/ pad on the UPPER JOINT. I blew into the upper joint and noticed that a small amount of air was coming out of that pad. So when I connected the lower joint and pressed the first big key it sounded like a register key was pressed causing the high pitch. So all I did was make sure the arm from the upper joint was making a small amount of contact with the upper joint key.
I am a beginner - so I hope the information makes sense.
Yes alignment was the issue for me and its too bad that you had the misfortune to take it to someone that seems so desperate for work that they had to "do all that work" to your oboe. Personally speaking, I dont think they did half of what you paid for. That is why I do simple things myself - and I always ask about things on this board. The people seem to know what they are talking about.
