Oh right, I thought the Loree DM would have had the B-C link, especially with it being made for the German market. I only ever see the AK and Royal oboes here in the UK.

But definitely practice slowly and gradually build up speed - that's always the best policy.

Fortunately the passage you have doesn't end with Eb - that'd be even more tricky, and even worse without a B-C link. With the B-C link fitted your RH little finger is free, so you won't have to slide from the C to Eb key.

Do you roll the tip of your little finger to the low Bb? Keep your little finger on the low B key, and rotate your wrist downwards so that the edge of your little finger touches the low Bb key, then rotate it back up for the B natural and back down again for the Bb - then remove the necessary fingers for the E.

It is much easier with the low B-C link as you can keep your RH little finger off the low C key, and just lift your LH little finger and RH finger 3 for the E.

Maybe your Buffet might have the B-C link if it once had a thumblate fitted, but you can tell if it has when you press the low B or Bb, and all the bottom keys and the middle RH fingerplate closes together. Without the link only the low B and bell key wil close - the low C will stay open.
