Re: selmer 104 or fox 300?

Sarah,

I can't say that they all have a wonky scale, but I don't think I'm the only one to deal with the unstable gurgling on low notes:

http://test.woodwind.org/clarinet/BBoard/read.html?f=10&i=13914&t=13912&v=f

On my Selmer 104, the bottom of its range, E down to Bb are quite flat in pitch. My automatic tendency when I hear that is to try to lip them up to pitch, but the tightened embouchure may then trigger the gurgling. So it's a difficult instrument to sound really good on. I'm not sure how old my instrument is. When I acquired it, the case it came with could easily have been 40+, but I'm uncertain if that was its original case. Newer oboes of that model might not have any of the issues mine has.

Michael
