It's probably either the wood has shrunk and jammed the keys between the po
sts or more likely that the casing on the C/C#/Eb is bent and the rod insid
e is not moving freely. What brand of instrument is it and what's it made o
ut of? If it's plastic then that kind of rules out the shrunken wood theory
...

Subject: [DR-L] english horn out of adjustment

Hi, I've rented an english horn from a local university for an upcoming c
oncert. It turns out that the low C and low C# keys stay closed when press
ed. The spring looks like it's seated properly. Anyone have any ideas? T
hanks,
