Re: lifting your first finger?

I think most american oboists use the adjustment screw on the first finger plate to tune the high C#, since that is the only note for which the usual fingering includes lifting the first finger of the left hand.
Some Rigoutat oboes have a high-C#-to-D trill mechanism that closes the left hand first finger plate when the right hand first finger is lifted so that you finger high-C# and just trill the first finger of the right hand. I think I've seen this mechanism advertised by Yamaha as well but I've never seen a Yamaha that included it.
