Hi Again,
Two posts above, I said that "I'd like to write my final entry on this thread..." It looks like I fibbed.
Recently, I took my Super 80II soprano and Mark VI to Eric Satterlee at Meridian Winds in Michigan (my VI had not been adjusted for many years). I told him what I thought the probelms were and he said "I usually just start looking at the instrument and fix things as I go."
About two hours later. the VI plays better than ever and is back as #1, my L200 has 6 new pads and a whole new life, and my Super80II is better than new.
I guess my point is that before one gives up on any instrument, get it into the hands of a skilled tech, have he or she do what is needed, and then decide.
Thanks, Eric.
HRL
