Re: Low Register Problem

I also have trouble with the lower notes on the oboe.

I can sneak down into them but I have trouble when I need to start playing on a low C#, B, Bb, etc. I know that some of the problem could be the reed since some of my reeds have more trouble with this than others. Also, part of the problem could be that the horn needs to be adjusted so I would need to take it in to be looked at by my repair person. And, part of the problem could be that I'm not dropping my jaw and relaxing enough to play these notes (or so I've been told).

However, here is my question (sorry to be so slow getting to the question!) - how often do most of you take your oboes in to a repair person for an inspection, cleaning, or something in that nature? Should I take the oboe in on a regular basis to be checked over?

thanks,
Lucy
