I really hope someone can help me...!
I got my oboe out to practise tonight, and something has gone weird. Basically the RH little finger keys don't seem to be acting properly any more. They go down but they don't go up again. The C-sharp is particularly bad, the E-flat and the C are doing it too, though. I spent some time trying to tweak things with a screwdriver (though I admit I don't really know what I'm doing there), and it didn't help much - I think it improved the C action slightly, but it's still not great.
This oboe is less than 3 months old, so I'm not too happy! The only reason I can think for this is happening is the last time I played it, a couple of days ago, was at a rehearsal - when I arrived, I left my case (with oboe it) on a chair, and someone knocked it onto the floor. I didn't *notice* anything wrong with the oboe during that rehearsal, but maybe I just happened not to play those notes! That's the only thing I can put it down to at the moment. That, or cold weather?!
It's a Marigaux dual-system, if that's any help.
