Re: My Louis Cor problems

Thanks Chris, Yes adjusting that screw did at least enable me to play below G. I really seldom use conservatoire fingerings as I generally play thumbplate, so I shall dispense with any major and expensive surgery. It is odd though that I had absolutely no issues for nearly 2 years since the instrument had been restored for this problem to surface now. The previous owner or her teacher may have had the adptions done in the 1950's or so as her oboes were 123 system as well, although from my untrained eye, their keywork was slightly different. I have a 1930s Louis oboe and an 1891 Loree oboe that use the same system. Perhaps I had moved that screw with my cleaning cloth when whiping down afterwards. It is great that we have someone with your expertise still using this board.
