My oboe is very very sharp?
Almost all of my notes are very very sharp. My G often comes out as a G#, etc.
I don’t know what’s causing it, so i have no idea how to fix it.
Any suggestions?
I play the oboe myself and what you need to know is to NEVER adjust the pitch by pulling it in or out!!! Most people don’t know anything about the oboe (including conductors) and they will tell you to push in or out. That only applies to other instuments, NOT the oboe! On an oboe, the pitch is adjusted by putting more reed in your mouth, or less. Usually as you put more reed in your mouth the pitch will go sharp and as you take less, the pitch will go flat. There is a correct spot in between where the pitch is just just right. It also depends on your reed. There are some reeds that were made sharp, and some a little bit flat. If you have a private lesson teacher, you can ask him/her to adjust the reed for you. A helpful hint is to lower your jaw when you play and not squeeze so tight on the reed, kind of like how you would say an “Ahhh” sound.
