Steve --

I think you will get along fine with the Sawicki book.

When I first started oboe --- well, within the first year, at least -- I got the book, and attempted to tweak the Yamaha 411 that I was playing then.

Although this was definitely a case of fools rushing in where angels fear to tread, I learned so-o-o-o much about how the instrument works from the experience, and was able to put it into good adjustment the very first try -- or at least, after a few passes at it.

The only time I scared myself was in adjusting the F res key. I *thought* I had it back in place, but either I didn't, or it needed further adjusting, because for a while I couldn't get my low notes going. It had to be "just right" -- neither too much nor too little.

But it all ended well, and I feel confident enough about it now to save the $$ I would spend on simple adjustments from the repairer. That screwdriver is packed in your instrument case for a reason!

Susan
