Hi Robin, I'm a repairer and have previously worked as an oboe finisher for Howarth - definitely not a high school band teacher as they wouldn't know that amount of detail!

Remember to seal the 8ve tops with grease or wax when you replace them, and then check the vent hole isn't blocked by any stray grease or wax by poking a needle spring through it and watching as it enters the bore (looking through the reed socket) to see if it has collected anything along the way in.
