A neat trick that I learned... Well... Copied from Fossati instruments. For this Malaysian coins work very well...
After playing and cleaning the oboe thoroughly, place 3 coins (or something similarly strong, solid, and thin enough) under these 3 spots:
1. In between 1st and 3rd octave key. (so that 1st octave key is pressed)
2. Under the screw that sits in between 1st and 2nd octave pad. This is the mechanism that prevents both from opening at the same time. With the 2 coins placed they should then be open! To control the amount of opening, simple find a suitable sized coin for step no. 2.
3. Looking at top joint of oboe from the back you see at the far bottom right a connection to the lower joint. You can insert a coin under this bar and effectively prop up the small C and Bb pads.
With these pads open they will help dry the oboe more effectively. With the case open this is even better but perhaps be careful in a winter day! I always do this overnight, Malaysian weather permits.
