 Re: Oboe reed hole diamater too large

My guess is that it's the reeds that are the problem, not the oboe. You get what you pay for, and cheap oboe reeds may not necessarily be made to exacting dimensions. Also, they often have a type of artificial cork instead of real cork, which could explain the poor fit.

If I were you, I would spring for some better reeds. Cheap reeds give off a cheap sound, and you'll be gratified when a good reed helps you sound better. And it's quite possible that the better reeds will fit your Cabart just fine.
