Well the adjusting did take patience and some readjustment back a bit as some keys were definately affecting others that I perfectly set.

The one thing I did that may be different from you is that I discovered clear nail polish as a really good way to secure any possible loose screws. Once I had a screw set perfectly I immediately made sure it STUCK. Beauty of the polish is that it breaks clean away with a turn of the screw, but it strong enough to secure the screw in place for a VERY long time.

I really don't understand how general instrument people who obviously cannot play test an oboe to see if it's adjusted properly would even accept the task of adjusting it. They certainly require having a book like Sawicki's. I can't imagine they would just try to adjust key by key like on a flute.

You have certainly had good luck with your oboes. I'm envious. The next oboe I buy will be definately be something I can play in person.

Regards,
Stephen
