The third octave key is used to facilitate the ease of getting those top notes. Some oboes need it more than others, as some reeds also do. I have it on my Fossati, but prior to that, the oboes I did not own, did not have it. one good thing about it is that you can play a top E flat with the first three fingers down, 1/2 hole and third octave key. It comes out like a charm, and at least on my oboe, well i9n tune. it alleviates the need to play a short E......at least this is what I do.
