Auwe! My condolences, Howard.

Let's hope that, as the extraction process gets underway, the whole thing will just let loose and you will be back in business. I wonder what would happen if one would wet the stuck swab (pouring water into the instrument). Might that lubricate it enough to make it move?

What is actually inside of an oboe, normally? Is there any sort of protruding part on which a swab can get stuck, or is it just the compacting as it pulls through the bore tht makes them stick? (I seem to have heard that there is a reservoir or something under the octave vent.)

At any rate, it seems like swabs get stuck in oboes much more than in other instruments.

Susan
(still happy with my long, long black silk swab from Forrests -- longer than the entire instrument, silk sticking out of both ends when in use, has never even *started* to jam, fingers crossed that it won't)
