Subj: Re: [kl] moisture in A key

Jim,
I too have this problem at the moment. You have prompted me to try
something I read in one of my books (as we have just moved house I can't
find the source of the advice at the moment).

Remove the G sharp and A keys. With a cotton bud, smear a little bore oil
in the tone hole. I'm trying it tonight, ready for a windband concert
tomorrow night. If it works for me then I will know I have helped you too!

Regards (from Stoke-on-Trent, England).
Mark.

Does anyone on the list have ideas about how to solve the problem of
excessive moisture in the LH A key?

Thanks in advance.
