Hi Barb

I just checked my Loree Royale for the pitch difference between the
Forked Fs with and without the Eb key.. The forked F without the Eb
key is so stuffy that I can not use it, but with the Eb key it is so
sharp that I can't use that one either. What I do is always use the
regular F with or without the LH F key.
