ABSTRACT:
The present invention features a water-repelling octave assembly consisting of an octave bowl having an elongated, hollow portion extending beyond the inner wall of the octave well into the bore of an oboe. The extended portion of the octave vent prevents moisture within the oboe's bore from entering the octave bowls and thereby disabling the upper register of the instrument. The inventive octave bowl provides an oboe which can be played for prolonged periods of time without need for swabbing by eliminating the accumulation of water in the oboe's octave vents. The invention also works well with the English horn, oboe d'amore and may be applied to other woodwind instruments.
