Hello all, I come with possibly the most vague problem ever...tuning for every note on my oboe is pretty much dire.
Every time I change note the tuning flies around like its on fire. i.e concert A in tune, Bb flat, B flatter, C flatter, C# sharp, D in tune, D# in tune, E sharp, F flat, F# sharp, G sharp, Ab in tune, A in tune, Bb flat, B flat, C in tune, everything above is amazingly sharp, except F#, which is actually in tune...
As you can probably see, the tuning is pretty wild. I don't know whether it is the oboe or the reeds I use, but this oboe, a Howarth S45c Dual system, seems to be fairly flat overall. I did get a friend to try it, and she just looked at it weirdly and handed it back to me....
So any help would be much appreciated! I'm guessing its probably the reeds, but since I've tried at least 10 on it, by different makers and such, it has left me puzzled....
