Regulating the mechanism doesn't need to have a rocket scientist of a repair person to accomplish it. Download Brian Seaton's excellent (and free!) Oboe Adjustment Manual in PDF format, do it yourself and save your money to buy cane.

If you play a thumbplate oboe or an automatic octave setup there are a few more adjustments to ask your local repair person about, but the basic stuff that troubles most oboes is beautifully covered.

With just a very little practice you will be able to correct the tiny things that drift out of whack over time in 2 - 3 minutes.

A school instrument which has had a jealous seatmate with a screwdriver attack it might take as long as 5 minutes, but that's another story...

Go on - it's easy!
