 Flatten Tone Hole
Author: RobinDesHautbois

Question obviously directed at expert, or at least experienced, repairers....

On my student model wood oboe, the keyed F was terribly sharp, so I put in some heated-glue-gun stuff to close the top of the hole. Not a problem, except the cooling glue does not behave so well and I have to cut it a bit with a very sharp X-Acto (or Olfa) style knife.

Now, if I happen to scratch or nick the lip of the tone hole, that's disastrous to sealing!

Is there a home-made solution to even the lip.... say, sand paper on a rigid metal stick or using a ball reamer in a Dremmel tool?

Any idea how much a cork or "white" pad can compensate for unevenness?

Thanks
