•To connect the bell to the lower joint, hold down the

key on the bell section and gently twist the lower

joint into place until the key bridges are aligned. Pay

careful attention to the bridge keys; they are easily

damaged.

similar fashion, with a

gentle twisting motion.

Again, pay careful

attention to the bridge

keys. To move them into alignment hold upper joint

keys lightly, making sure the bridge key is up. Align

YOB-211:

lower joint.

•Connect upper joint

Placing the Reed in the

Upper Joint

Gently hold the reed in your mouth for a few minutes

before putting it on your oboe. Apply cork grease to the

reed cork and gently insert the reed into receiver.

Tuning Your Oboe

Pitch is affected by

temperature, so warm up

the instrument before

playing by blowing air

through it. To tune, adjust

the reed on the body. The

length you pull out or push in depends on individual

preference and method of playing.
