Re: Fitting A LH C# Key...

Attachment: georges duval oboe.jpg (52k)

I've just seen a photo of a Georges Duval oboe with a similar LH C# mechanism to the Triebert oboe - see attached photo.

And on closer inspection of the Triebert photos I now realise why a lot of older oboes have two adjusting screws on the Eb pad cup (one of which is redundant) - with an extra piece of mechanism fitted that links the Eb pad cup to the RH3 ring it makes for a D#-E trill.

The Eb pad closes while RH3 is raised and lowering the RH3 ring allows the Eb pad to open again provided the LH Eb key is used - the linkage is sprung heavily enough to close the weaker spring of the Eb pad cup. Selmer (Paris) did a similar thing on their oboes instead of using the more common split D#-E trill found on full Gillet conservatoire oboes.

Former oboe finisher
Howarth of London
1998 - 2010
The opinions I express are my own.
