I've not been reading the list for a bit, so I'm new to this (I now see)
extensive thread.

What I want to ask is, are you talking about the RH trill keys? Is the key
whose spring (?) fell off, the one above the RH Eb/Bb side key? If so, was
it because the spring was damaged, or because the screw was loose (and then
perhaps lost, or not) -- or what?

Or perhaps you're talking about the RH F#/C# key. It's unlikely, but I want
to check.

You see, I want to know exactly what happened before giving advice.

Tony
