I only met Richard Craig a couple of times when he was an outworker for Howarth, so he is probably the best person to check over your oboe as he knows the instruments inside out.

So often the closed standing F vent gets overlooked by general woodwind repairers who specialise on flutes, clarinets or saxes as they can see it is closed, but they don't realise it also has to close while both RH fingers 2 and 3 are held down (opened by RH3 and then held closed by RH2, not just by the spring tension of RH3 only).
