-Okay, I know I've posted about pretty much the same problem before, but it's about that same left-hand pinky C-key! After the last time I had this problem I took my oboe in and got parts re-adjusted. But, slowly but surely, the key started sticking again. And faster and worse than before I brought it in.
-Usually, when this key sticks, it will only happen as long as you keep the middle finger of right hand down after pushing down C &/or C# key. Usually the C key would just pop back up if you lifted your middle finger or pushed down either Eb key.
-Right now: If you just hold the oboe and push down the C or C# key (right hand) and let go, the key just stays down. Pushing down the left hand Eb key doesn't even make the C-key come up anymore. But pushing down the right hand Eb key does.
-One problem is that before I brought my oboe in, as long as I kept the screw above the C key (the one facing the RH ring-finger key) the key wouldn't stick or anything. Now, ever since I got my oboe back, I can't make the screw turn at all. I guess it's whatever they do to keep screws from moving. So I can't adjust the screw how I did (how my director showed me) to make it work right. And I don't know why, but now most every piece of music we get in band goes from like a Db-C# to a D or Eb or F and since the C key stays down, the note after the C# sounds like a C!!! It's horrible. Right now that's the only major problem I can think of with my oboe. Can anyone tell me what to do for this. Is there a way to make that screw move? (b/c it won't go in or out)
Any and all advice and help welcome and greatfully accepted. Thanks,
Corinne
