If you are talking about the left pinky keys, then use the forked f if the left f key isn't present on your oboe. There are some rules to the forked f however. Use it in the sequences she mentioned. However, it is also helpful for C#/Db. Low B and low Bb (If on your oboe) require forked f if there is a sequence with those notes and f. This is because of sliding. Hope this was helpful :)

Thank you, Carrie. I've just found your page and I'm learning so much 🙂
If you don't have a middle "little finger" key, what key do you use instead?
