Re: Finger Chart for TP Oboe

Hi Sarah. My chart is not exactly a 'clear chart' because of the way it comes out when I copy and paste to this BB. It's much clearer when looked at on my Open Office page. I just thought it would be fun to see how much of a job it would be to type out a fingering chart with only what you have on the keyboard.
Fingering charts for the English Thumb Plate Oboe are not readily available these days. Only that of the Conservatoire is given , even in Gossen's book. The ones that I know of are what is in Anthony Baines book which is very good but only gives the basic ones. The DR Downing's Professional TP Chart which has a few errors in it. And the Learn As You Play book for Oboe which is very basic. Remarkably. the very comprehensive Woodwind Fingering Guide (www.wfg.woodwind.org) site does not even include the Thumb Plate Oboe system in its guide. Even though the differences are only with the C and Bb and also with certain high notes this guide is lacking any fingering details.
