Re: Help! My oboe is broken :-(

when keys go down and don't come back up, i usually suspect the springs may have gotten knocked out of position..either that or the keys are binding due to having been bent by the impact. it could be the weather: sometimes the keys will bind due to the shrinking of the wood relative to the posts. sounds like you need a repair person to look at it. folks, never ever leave your oboe in a place where it can be knocked over or fall..at worst, I put it in the case and then that goes under the chair and that's extremely rare..i usually take the whole thing with me everywhere in the case. it may be unusually paranoid, but otherwise something bad is bound to happen. also, never use those plastic portable stands..they're an accident waiting to happen. get a good stand with a heavy metal base.
