Hello Howard, I think you have posted about this problem before.

Have you tried your reeds on a different oboe?

Have you let other oboists try your oboe to see if they experience the same problem?

And finally:

If the problem is definitely the instrument, and (as I recall) you purchased it new, you should get the manufacturer involved at this point BEFORE you try modifying the instrument yourself. It is still under warranty, and you are entitled to an instrument that plays in tune. You may mention (in your cover letter to Buffet) that an enormous number of experienced oboists and teachers have been following your problems with keen interest on an internationally well-known bulletin board, and are unlikely to recommend the greenline to any of their students in the near future ...

J.
