 problem with C key - oboe
Author: oboe 
Date:   2004-01-07 21:10

Hi.
My problem is that when I am playing and I hold down the C key, whether holding the C# key or not) it ends up sticking; unless I raise my finger off the 2nd key on the right hand. My senior clinic auditions are this Saturday. Last year, before junior clinic tryouts I had this same problem. Is there anyway for me fix this without bringing it to a shop?? Thanks a whole lot!

Try cleaning the pad. Maybe the pads dirty and that's why it's sticking. Also, maybe try cleaning the area around the pad where the hole opens. If you have some cigarette paper that would be the best to use. Hope that helps.
