Ian, many years ago I was fortunate enough to take my oboe to a technician who believed in teaching a man to fish.

My advice to everyone who is not "all thumbs" is to learn how to adjust your own instrument perfectly - it is a relatively easy skill to acquire and is enormously beneficial to your playing.

We will always need technicians - oboes are made of wood, metal and cork that can warp, bend, shrink, develop hairline cracks etc. Technicians are lifesavers when this occurs.

By learning to regulate your own instrument you save yourself valuable time and money, and save your technician from spending his valuable time on what is usually a very simple task.

J.
