If suction produces no evidence of a leak, and you are unable to blow a pad
open, it is unlikely that you have a leak. I assume that by "got suction"
you mean it will hold it for at least a minute. Don't squeeze keys harder
than you do when playing as that will distort the test procedure.
Was this pitch problem a sudden change? If so, look for cookie crumbs in a
hole or some similar accumulation of junk.
