Re: Poll: How many oboes do you currently own?

Stephen,
I was interested to hear your recommendation for the Sawicki book. I've been looking for a book like this and there seem to be two oboe adjustment books: Carl Sawicki and Patrick McFarland.

Have you seen the book by McFarland as well? The only review I found seemed to rate them both equally.

My Ebay Fox Renard needed a bit of adjusting but I found this page:
http://www.oboesforidgets.com/brands.htm
and the 'Tips' page was a great help.

I've taken apart, cleaned and repadded quite a few clarinets, so I had some experience, but the number of adjustment screws on the oboe is terrifying! I followed the tips given very carefully, keeping note of which screws I turned, and by how much. It wasn't as difficult as I thought. It plays very well now, though some of the lower pads could do with changing.

How is the Sawicki book written? Does it have easy to follow instructions for checking/adjusting the whole instrument?

Interested in your comments!

Steve
