Try the easiest fix first. Take the G# key off and clean out the tone hole.
You might also clean the register opening, because G# is so unstable to
begin with that any problem above it will probably show up in the G# before
you'd notice it on other notes. You said this had been happening lately, so
I'm assuming it's being caused by some condition that's changed. If the
problem's not a dirty tone hole, look for anything above the G# tone hole
that could be deteriorating (pads, spring tensions).
