Re: The real practical range (compass) of the Oboe

I recently serviced an early '90s Marigaux 901 oboe which unusually didn't have a 3rd 8ve key fitted at all. The owner was getting his high notes above altissimo F no problem and asked if it was worth having one fitted.

I told him they can be fitted relatively easily if he wanted and with no other alterations needing doing as his oboe is dual system, so won't need the back 8ve touch altered for the 3rd 8ve touch to overlap (the 3rd 8ve touchpiece is set off to the left on thumbplate and dual systems). But as he can already get the high notes easily enough on it as it was, I told him there's no point if he's managed this long without it.
