 Re: Low B-flat key closes low C vent

On most oboes the low Bb vent is already closed for nearly every note and only opens when you play low Bb. Unless you have a Marigaux or other oboe where the low Bb vent is opened by the low B key.

There are other fingerings for altissimo Eb that don't use the low B key - players with oboes fitted with the low B-C link can't use the low B key for altissimo Eb and use the other fingerings where the G# key is used instead.

The opinions I express are my own.
