Subj: RE: "play" in the left hand C key
Play in the right hand C is more serious and can lead to poor pad seating. Play in the left hand is more an annoyance than anything. It probably just needs re-corking to stop any delay.

Do you heat it enough for the trapped air in the pivot to bubble out. Do that, so that when the part cools the WD40 is drawn in. As Wes says, repeat the process for several days. A top quality screw driver
