 broken lower joint

Hello

My low d, without half whole, is very stuffy and is sometimes overblowing to the d up the octave. Any ideas as to what the problem maybe. I believe that it is the lower joint but as to what specificly I have no idea! All of the repair shops are closed for vacation and im going away tommorow.

Thx!

Noah

Do all of the notes around the D work?

There are too many factors that could stop the low notes working, I wouldn't like to suggest anything without seeing the oboe as that's the only sure way of making any diagnosis, so it's best left to a repairer - preferrably an oboe specialist as they will know what to look for.

I've seen too many oboes badly adjusted by general repairers as they don't know what they're doing.
