My guess is that you have some pads that are sitting too close to the
tone holes. Check the C# key for the C#. Also check the very top tone
hole on the bottom half of the instrument (the one that gets covered when
you put down any of the first three fingers of the right hand). This
height of the pad over this hole will definitely affect the C; I would
not be surprised if it affected the C#, as well. You can theoretically
raise the key cups yourself, but I would strongly recommend that you have
it done professionally, espeically if you are squeemish.
