How remarkable - and I thought I was the only one. I too own a Prestige
A where the F#/C# key "bounces" when trilled. It's a very strange effect
and not altogether pleasing. It certainly doesn't sound right. In fact, it
shouldn't happen, but I haven't had the time to investigate it. If you
come up with any ideas or solutions, please post it to the list. I would
be interested.
