David,

The Patricola Ebs have a screw adjustment for the
articulated G#/C# that will turn it on and off. I take
a minute to adjust it off with a screwdriver. I then
always have to make sure I play a few notes while I am
doing the adjustment to make sure it is not partially
opening, thus giving me a nasty leak with a half open
G#/C# key.

Long F works great after that!
