Thanks. I feel a little more confident now.
Dutchy, you said:
-- "Think of all the musicians who double on all the various clarinets, like Bb and Eb--they don't have huge problems, do they? Even if the fingering is the same for scales, still the notes that come out are going to be a fifth higher." --
But as you say, the fingering pattern is always the same, whereas although the oboe and clarinet share some similarities - they also differ, sometimes in a sneaky way, e.g. the F/F# - which I think must trip people up occasionally, particularly if they have a teacher glaring at them.
I can imagine saying to the oboe teacher "Er, no, I didn't play that scale very well, but if you'll just let me show you on my clarinet here..." ;-)
