Thank you! I just pulled out my oboe after several years of not playing. Seemed to be okay, though I had this sticking 8va key problem. I had a feeling the sandpaper trick would work, but since I had never done it on an oboe--only saxophones--I came here to be sure. Sure enough, one quick wisp of my 220-grit sp and all is now right with the world.
