The other thing the books will tell you is how to clean and oil your keywork. You have NO idea how much of a difference this will make to your instrument! All of a sudden your oboe is light and responsive.

Get the book and learn how to do this. You only need to clean and and oil about twice a year IMHO unless you are a really heavy player, but the results are really worthwhile.

Equipment you will need:

a SUPERB screwdriver
a spring hook
cigarette paper (cut into narrow strips) (and glued to cocktail sticks, if you want to be REALLY cool)
a desk where the cat / the kids won't play
pipe-cleaners
key oil / auto-transmission / power-steering fluid (yes, this works too)
a couple of quiet hours, with Bach playing in the background

Oh, last thing;

The phone-number of an oboe technician who can help in case you get completely stuck

:) enjoy!
