Re: F Resonance problem

I wouldn't advise doing that as it could potentially do more harm than good and straightening such small rod screws and key barrels as a result of repeated hammering each time they bind up is very difficult.

It may work in the short term or in an emergency to get you through a concert, but you really need to have the binding keys dealt with properly so you shouldn't have to resort to these temporary and possibly damaging measures.

So take your oboe to have the F vent and rocker key barrels gently fraised back by a minute fraction of a millimetre which is enough to free them up with some but not excessive lateral play between the pillars.
