Maybe I'm just being dense here, but it seems to me that pretty much all 
oboe players have a box on the stand so you can kind of assume the initial A is 
going to be about the same every day (I'm choosing to be optimistic here).  So 
anyway, no need to really stress out too much about it.  If you tuned yesterday 
and last week, you're probably in the ball park.  As things progress, you can 
always adjust a bit if needed.  I always thought I got a better feel for the 
pitch also too (Sarah) if I played a few different notes against the A, again 
just to get a feel for the ballpark.  
    If the pitch is impossible to find, just play louder.
