Clark,
I am refering to the D/A finger hole (one of the tone holes for E and B). I
do not wish to correct anything at all. I was wondering because there is a
slight vertical ridge in this hole which runs the entire depth of the hole
(not in the undercut portion). At first, I thought it was a scratch, but
after looking more closely, it looks more like something created by a drill
or some kind of tool. The instrument is a Buffet R-13 Greenline. I am
wondering if Buffet or the repairman at IMS may have adjusted the hole. It
is very minute. I can barely feel it using a sharp toothpick.

Joshua,

This can be easily cleaned up with a small round file if you are careful. If
it does not seem to affect the sound i would not change it. I doubt if it
was "adjusted" at IMS. I may be a tool mark. Or, I am not certain whether
some of the tone holes on the Green line are are glued in rather than an
integral part of the instrument.
