Re: Fingering chart and adjustment for Fully Automatic

Hi Geoffery. So this Oboe has both the Thumb Plate as well as the Conservatoire fingering system I assume. It also looks like it has the left hand 'long ' F but no bottom C-B linkage, Is this correct ? The only fingering chart that I know of that deals with this combined system is Dr Downing's Professional Dual-System Oboe Fingering Chart. But it's just the basic fingerings. If it has the thumb plate I'd be using it as a TP Oboe and be using the conservatoire fingering for C & Bb when the situation suited it. As for an adjustment guide You'll have to 'wing' it I think. It doesn't look all that different from my Howarth S2 except that it has a functioning third finger ring on the top joint which means it would have a least one more adjusting screw to the top joint.
May I say that your new (old) Oboe looks to be in good condition like my S2.
