Hi Julian,

Mario is right about checking the pad immediately below the index finger.
Particularly if it has come loose, it could be the culprit. I would also check
the pad under the throat A key. Actually, if it was leaking, I would expect more
notes to be affected but maybe not if the leak is slight. BTW, E1 (or E') is a
perfectly good and clear way to designate the note you are talking about.

Best regards,
Jack Kissinger
