What make and model is your thumbplate cor (I'm guessing it's either a Howarth or Louis)? Is it an open hole thumbplate system with a ring key and tonehole chimney for RH finger 3?

If that's the case, the tonehole chimney can be filled with wax to flatten the E - and with wax you can add or remove as much or as little to get the tuning right.

Former oboe finisher
Howarth of London
1998 - 2010

The opinions I express are my own.
