Subj: [DR-L] key adjustments; was Left thumb (oboe)

Speaking of adjustments, how much wiggle should there be on the L F key;
none, or just a bit loose. I think mine is quite loose and should have it
tightened up more. There is also a bit of play up and down; I can press
down maybe 2 mm or so before the key opens at all.
