Sadly, whilst my house has a spare-ish room which would make a fine dining room, a reasonable workshop or a mediocre guinea-pig farm, it won't be practical to sound-proof it.

This particular gentleman has been instructed to play repeated very high notes very loudly and for long periods, to check that he can pitch them stably and correctly (and to arrange the correct setting of the E-flat de-squeaking screw), and this seems a form of oboe practice absolutely optimised for the vexation of neighbours.
