Walter,
Wow, that was quick. I have checked and all the keys are indeed
staying closed. Why would the two keys you mentioned have any effect?
Aren't they at the end of the instrument? The air has already vented
from the LH index finger hole. (Am I understanding you correctly that
the Ab/Eb key is the one played with the RH pinky and the F/C the same
way?).
Thanks for answering.
