Subj: [DR-L] Water in lower Octave key
Date: Wed, 15 Nov 2006 10:02:40 -0500

I know this subject has been brought up before, but I don't have any
access to the msgs. I just cleaned out the octave vent in my Loree,
and it worked fine for all of 5 minutes. I keep little cigarette
papers under the pad when not playing it. But inevitably water gets
back in there and prevents the middle E, F, F#, G & G# from sounding.
Interestingly enough, the forked F will work OK, although I don't
understand why. Can someone explain this, pls?

Anyway, what remedies are there for getting the water out of the vent?

Thank you

David Lurie
