Re: To gouge or not to gouge

I agree, its gets to be very easy with practice.

And a really good non-oboe playing repair person can get it close.

I still think there are a couple adjustments that are better served via playing tests.

Really, only a couple...well, maybe 3 - 5 ...

High c# pitch (1st LH key height)

f# - g# across the bridge.

Forked f resonance pad off the low d keys.

Low or middle octave c# - d#.

Low b - c#.

And # 6 if you have a high-d facilitator... the amount of free play on the low d's inner ring when playing high d.

A very slight looseness Vs. tight seal works best for me. (And this contradicts the advice of my oboe maker's shop!)
