It's one of those notes that has to be humoured - I always make the mistake of keeping the Eb key open so the forked F ends up a shade on the sharp side (when playing in flat keys), then end up lipping it down to get it in tune (and then the following note has to be lipped back up again). And the venting on the F key is critical as well - I only give it about 1.5mm opening.

One day I'll get round to making myself a saxophone system oboe - that'll be loads easier to get around, especially in keys with more than 4 accidentals either way!

The opinions I express are my own.
