 Re: Do older wooden oboes hold their tune?

I found that my EH needed CONSTANT reregulation until John Peterson at RDG went over it, filing pad seats, recentering pads, and replacing a few pads. Now I don't need to mess with it nearly as often.

No instrument is leak-proof--it is a matter of whether the leak rate is great enough to disrupt the standing waves in the instrument. So if you have a leakier instrument, you can always be just below the critical leak rate, and the slightest maladjustment can put you over the top and give you problems. The more you get rid of the "background" leaks, the less you'll notice minor maladjustments.
