all in the mouth
When your C is too low, this could mean a few things; 1) Your reed could be badly scraped and have a "ditch" in it, 2) It could be a problem with your oboe, 3) The C is possibly the least stable note of the oboe, so you could be biting on the reed or not using enough air.
It is generally believed that the oboe is used as the pitch source to tune the orchestra because, of all the instruments, the oboe has the least ability to be varied. In this way of thinking, the oboist makes their reeds and strives to be able to play in tune, and since they can't be adjusted, whatever the oboist comes up with is what everyone has to accept and adjust to. There may be some truth to this legend. On the other hand, the oboe actually has a fairly large range of variability if the reed is well made and the oboist is professional-grade. (Consider this: If oboes were so impossible to tune, how could a Berlioz symphony employ four of them?) In actual fact, today, most orchestra musicians are already well-tuned to electronic tuners before the oboist sounds the first note, and the oboe-note/tuneup session is more for show than for real tuning.
The most common reason given is that the oboe is the most difficult to tune and always is tuned to because is piercing and loud. This reason is actually false. The reason the oboe tunes the orchestra is because when orchestras started to develop during Handel's time, the oboe was the most common instrument in the orchestra. It was easier to tune to the oboes since there was so many of them.
All the instruments are tune to the piano. Before an orchestral concert, the musicians will either tune to a note played on the violin by the concertmaster, or an oboist.
A standard symphony orchestra can tune to three different members: the principal oboe, the concertmaster, or the solo pianist. The oboist is used to tune whenever there is an oboe in the orchestra, the concertmaster is used whenever there isn't an oboe, and the pianist/keyboardist will play the tuning note if he or she is the soloist for the evening.

Oboes are a double reed, woodwind instrument. It requires lots of air, and is very hard to tune. At first you will sound like a duck, but once you keep practicing you should get better into a more beautiful sound.

The oboist is used to tune whenever there is an oboe in the orchestra, the concertmaster is used whenever there isn't an oboe, and the pianist/keyboardist will play the tuning note if he or she is the soloist for the evening.
Oboe reeds last about three to ten weeks if you take care of them, but they do break very easily. Also, I'm pretty sure it depends on the brand and hardness of the reed. Oboe reeds last only 6-10 hours if cared for properly (not chipped)
Generally, there shouldn't be any need to tune an accordion. They do not go out of tune unless they have been damaged, for example, by cigarette smoke. Anyway, if you really do need to tune an accordion, you would have to get it done by someone who knows what they are doing. It would be a tedious task because each reed (represented by each separate key/button) has to be tuned separately. The way you tune it is by changing the length of the reed. A longer reed has a lower pitch and a shorter reed has a higher pitch. So if you wanted to tune an accordion up, you would have to shave down the reeds a little bit.
You blow tune on reed pipe
You get the reed pipe in grove of temples then play the tune on the door.
Play the tune the lady with the reed pipe gave you.
Typically two oboists play in the orchestra; with the 2nd oboist doubling on English horn when needed. Some larger professional Symphony Orchestras (like the Chicago Symphony Orchestra). Have a dedicated English hornist, that can double second oboe, or play the rare third oboe part in a pinch.
