Gordon,

When you say binding, what exactly do you mean by that? I understand that overtightening of the A screw causes large sections of the instrument to cease playing, but I'm positive that's not what you're referring to. In any case, it was the first thing I checked and it was well adjusted. (I had previously inquired on this board about THAT problem a little while back)
As for the problems occuring after the key has just been pressed sounds consistent with what I'm experiencing. It also makes sense since both my professor and I are unable to track down a leak on the instrument by conventional methods. Does this occur on other keys as well, or primarily just with the throat A key? Would binding of the A pivot cause larger sections of the instrument to be effected or just the notes around that A?

I have somewhat of a better idea of where to start, although if in anyone's opinion I'm still missing something, feel free to keep on posting; This is basically what I've got to go on :-)
