Hello all, i am currently playing a Bulgheroni "opera" automatic system oboe (without choice really, Buffet is still away for at least another few weeks from what i can anticipate). I worked a little on the adjustment following the "oboe doctor" book of Marc Schaeferdiek. Everything is almost perfect now but some things are not so clear on the book. When i play (1st) octave E to G#, there are some directions on the book that allows me to determine whether the adjustments for the octave keys are correct, but unfortunately i am not able to understand them thoroughly.
When i play these notes, i have to make sure, perhaps too meticulously when compared to playing a semi automatic, that i don't relax even a bit on the G key (LH ring finger). The low notes are fantastic, so it must be the octave system that is not in the right shape, any advise on how to go about finding the culprit? When recently trying a few new automatic Fossatis, no such problem existed so i suppose it is not a "norm" of the automatic system, or is it?
Regards,
Howard
