Abstract
Oboists face many problems relating to the mechanism of their instruments that render them unplayable. These problems occur frequently due to routine use. Fortunately, solutions exist, but few people know how to apply them. With sufficient knowledge and experience, most of these problems could be resolved quickly and inexpensively. The purpose of this project was (1) to research and learn oboe repair and (2) to teach local oboists about repairs they can do themselves. Repairs that I studied were mechanism adjustments, crack prevention, octave vent cleaning, bumper cork replacement, pad replacement, and tenon cork replacement.
