Re: New oboe, some random questions/issues

You have to adjust the forked F vent to close along with RH2 while RH3 is being held closed.

Closing RH3 frees the F vent, but RH2 then closes it when both RH fingers 2 and 3 are held down together so you can get the notes from D and lower to speak easily.

The 'hole' in RH1 is paint - the middle of the fingerplate has a hollow in it and they're usually filled in with black paint purely as decoration. Loree and older Rigoutat and Yamaha oboes have this too (and aren't the only ones). It's just to make all the fingerplates look the same.
