My oboe keeps hissing, especially on C# and I brought it in to get it repaired. Most of the notes are fixed but still my C# is hissing. I have a Rigoutat RIEC and it sounds very nice. Also is there any other oboe that may sound better than mine because it doesn`t have a great sound either.

Hissing? explain more. I would suggest if you want a better sounding Oboe maybe go after a Loree.

Rigoutat RIEC is a fine oboe in itself. I have one and had a hissing sound also, that oes away after playing for a coule months, dont worry about it.

I heard dat it hisses naturally its sum lil problem dat i haf 2 but i asked my teaher and she said that it is lyke dat u cant help it, BUt from a distance u cant hear it.

But mayb im worng.

KEEP THE GOOD PLAYING UP PEEPS.

Making the hole in the b key smaller usually eliminates the hissing, without affecting anything else.
Pour in paraffin, molten stearin or something, then drill a hole through it, until you are satisfied with it.

Or have a professional do it.

Regards

my oboe does that too but its because the reed is pulled out a lot.
maybe your getting very little reed when you play.
