Well, today I followed the suggestions to warm up the oboe well before playing (also started out with natural cork reeds), and the problem seems to have minimized itself.
I will confess to having gotten lax about warming the oboe up. I used to do it religiously, but it's been such a good little oboe all summer, I got out of the habit.
It's amazing what an apparently small thing like a couple of temperature degrees can do. Yes, it is definitely Fall here -- crispy mornings, cooler middays. And I suppose I should remember that if I am thinking it's time to put away the sundresses and put on long sleeves, the oboe is thinking the same thing.
Thanks, everyone, for your guidance.
Susan
