On the standard Oboe that we know today, there are open keys on the first four keys. On advanced models of the oboe there is an open hole for the sixth key.
The first key has a half- hole that allows the musician a way to play several different notes. For a 'd' the play would uncover this half hole to produce a clearer and more in tuned pitch. This half hole also allows octave jumps to the second octave sound better.
The other keys have holes to create different pitches. When the player covers the holes in the systematic descending order it will create pitches that create a scale. When the first key hole is covered it will create the pitch b. When the second is covered it will create the pitch a, third g the fourth a f- sharp. The fifth doesn't have a hole but creates e. The sixth creates a d.
