Hi John
I had a Patricola S5 some years back. I did fine the key work was very easy to play ergonomically and of all the oboes I have played Patricola C Banana key is the only that works it's close your fingers and sits at a nice height. plus the G Key hole is offset which fitted my hands.

Your D problem could be the C Pad is not lifting to adjust it try to loosen the screw above the C # pad ( Just in where the low arrow is pointing on your side view photo). Or link screw linking the D Key outer ring to the pad of the F# tone hole could be out but I don't think so as the D should seal on the inner ring anyway.

The E flat pad screw adjusts the play in the Left E flat key and opening pad height.

The Horseshoe is just a brace and does not matter.

I know my S5 did not have hole on the R1 but on the L1 mine did have a small plastic tube with a hole in it that you could have in or out depending on your tunning on the effected notes.

3rd Octave key I never need it anyway.

I hope this helps.

Thanks
Nicholas
