Re: Problems with B

If it helps to have your right hand down, then it would seem that unless you have been remiss in covering the right hand holes, there may be a problem (possibly among others) of the bridge key being out of adjustment.

The situation would be that if you press down only your right index finger, the pad on the upper joint closes before the one on the lower joint does. Worth checking. This maladjustment can play a merry dance with B, especially as playing gets faster.

The other adjustment problem that affects B seriously is the F/C &/or E/B pads not closing flat, or not accurately linked, or the associated keys being sloppily mounted. A tell-tale symptom often associated, is that the right hand fingering for B plays more easily than the left fingering.
