Initially it felt blocked and I could only get a note by pressing a valve half down, but I twiddled the valve and it resolved the problem, so I guess all the bits where the tubes get changed by the valves had got out of whack. I have found some YouTubes. Mr RB sounds better than I do, but I think that's because I need to relax my embouchure more (probably too tight due to oboeing). It can't be heard outside the house, so my worries about annoying the neighbours are hopefully unfounded.

Over on the podcast thread we are trying to guess the identity of the masked fetchie (we performed brilliantly on the podcast this week). Would you be able to tell me the fetch name of the guitarist in the fetch band - as that is going to be my guess for the identity of the masked fetch.
