 Does anyone understand the oboe fingering chart? The fingering scheme has no picture and I have no clue what the B key is. Can anyone help me?

 Renee,
 
 Did you look at the "Fingering Scheme for Oboe" page, and scroll down to "Left Hand Little Finger (Pinky) Keys"?

 The B key is operated by the left hand pinky.  There are three keys (sometimes 4 on intermediate/professional models) located on the top left of the middle joint.  (The right hand pinky needs to engage the C key when playing low B.)  The B key is narrow and located in the middle of the three keys.  The alternate left hand fingering for E flat is the first bigger key.  The outer key is used for low B flat.

 What I meant was, WFG doesn't have a picture to go along with the fingering scheme, so I don't understand what they're talking about. I understand that the left hand is the one closest to your mouth, but I don't know where the trill keys are. Please explain the chart to me someone.
