I was hoping that it wasn't the instrument, as its the first new oboe I've ever owned!
In regards to the fact that I should try to tune it by ear, not by tuner, I've had problems with my right ear for nearly a year, and it still sounds a bit muffled, so I kind of have to use the tuner as a last resort. I did try to get other people to listen to help me tune, such as my Dad, who has grade 8 in piano and saxophone, (and a degree in physics, which involved me getting a lecture on tempered and natural scales), but the fact that they started to whince as I started playing higher and higher was not a good sign...
I initially thought as it was 'thick bored' it might be naturally flatter than my other oboe, but the tuning seems a bit....odd. Anyways, I will try to take it to my local woodwind specialist shop to see if they know what the problem is...
