OK, here's another trick: grasp the oboe top tube (keys up) in your right hand (palm side down) & let the middle tube/bell rest against the underside of your forearm/elbow. Tap the round knob of the top tube against the heel of your left hand two or three times. Then with the oboe held vertically tap the opening of the oboe bell against the palm of your left hand a couple of times. It should make a pop of sorts. The theory is that any water in the octave or other holes of the top tube will drop to the river of saliva running down the back of the bore. The bell tap will displace the water below the offending tone hole. This quick & dirty works & is endorsed by Elaine Douvas, who demonstrates it at her master classes. If the holes are lubricated with Woodwind-All or Favor spray furniture polish, as described in my post above (Date: 2008-09-02 19:20) the procedure will be twice as effective. Not a bad idea to do this during measure rests in ensemble playing when swabbing/mopping would be too time consuming.

Best,

john
