And just when you thought it was over, my oboe, today, yes you guessed it.

I am desperate for an oboe now, 2 performances in 2 weeks time. Another after that. I have plenty to practise. I cannot stop practising for one day. I never felt so down in my entire oboe life.

Repairman said that he had no idea how long it would take to take the swab out. In order not to damage it, he would have to pull from the bottom hole a small a portion a day. Now you might ask why does it sound over-complicated. My swab is a double string swab - AND I THOUGHT IT WOULD NEVER EVER GET STUCKED. It got stuck AFTER the bottom string was not to be visible, thus option of pulling from the other side was virtually impossible. Who could have expected that?

Pray for me BBoarders, or better yet, any apparent solution that i might be able to try out? In the period of lamenting, i will be sending SMSes to every
oboist i know in town to see whether they have a 2nd oboe available for me.
