Dear Barry, it my very well be that the reeds you are playing on could be the problem as this is not something that should happen. If this not being the case, you could send your oboe to Richard Craig for adjustment, but I think you have recently purchased this from him so it shouldn't be a problem. Perhaps email him for his suggestions. Also make sure you are not swallowing too much reed and keep a relatively open embouchure. A reed with a little more resistance may help, but make sure you support your air column well. Cheers, Geoff Pearce
