So long as you keep practicing you will eventually sound better. It would help immensely if you could find an oboe teacher, they would make sure you start off correctly at least.

The Bb could be the instrument or it could be you. Since you say you sound like a dying duck, perhaps in time that would improve as well.

Sometimes the left Eb will not sound because the 3rd finger on the left hand stops covering the hole when you reach for the left Eb. Make sure your fingers are secure.

If you don't already have any method books you may want pick up a copy of the Rubank methods (Beginning ->Intermediate -> Advanced -> Advanced II) and pick up a copy of Gekeler Book II (skip I) and/or get the Barret Method. The Gekeler Book is largely the etudes from the Barret Method (40 progressive melodies), it's much easier to read (better print), not quite so big, and cheaper. I have both and the Gekeler is nice to have in addition for convenience sake.


Regards,
Stephen
