Hi GBK:
Having been plagued with out of alignment bridge-key adjustments, my repairman found a brilliant solution.
Instead of searching for the "ideal" material to use to keep the mechanism in adjustment, Jimmy Yan simply put an adjustment screw on the top bar of the bridge-key, similar to the screw used on the A/G# throat key. It might, in fact, be that same screw mechanism from an older horn.
Whenever my "fork Bb (1&1)" gets out of adjustment, or the right hand keys don't feel right, I can easily adjust the changes needed myself.
Simple, cost efficient, and should be on all stock horns in the future, if Buffet and the others would ever listen to our professional suggestions.
Try the improvement, it works.
