Re: Notating fingerings

It's a good upper register F for blasting out loud!

Then the low B fingering + 1st 8ve gives F#, C+1st 8ve gives G, C#+1st gives G#/Ab, D+2nd gives A and Eb+2nd gives Bb.

Forked F is always such a duff note on oboes - I often find I tend to open the Eb key to further vent it in the upper register so it's not so stuffy. Would've been very different if the Boehm or Sax fingered oboe was accepted, but since tradition has been firmly adhered to (and not for the best), we have to put up with these duff notes.
