I've suffered with bad bridge mechanisms so much that I'm extremely sensitive to maladjustments --thus, I thought that more (MORE!) discussion is in order.

I have a Buffet (nearly) Full Boehm where the articulated G# is controlled by the bridge mechanism. Thus, the bridge must not only enable the 1-1 Bb, but also close the G#/C# pad. That is asking a whole lot of the technician to properly set up the horn. Few can do it. I can't.

Tobin,

How on earth can you do without the 1-1 Bb? I used to use the 1-1 Eb (bottom line), but realized (with illumination from my teacher) that it is 'way ouf ot tune. So, I've been trying to give up the 1-1 Eb and getting better at slapping the side Eb/Bb key.

I'm working on a piece for my next lesson that has a quick arpeggio with top line F, the Bb above, D6. It goes swimmingly with the 1-1 Bb, but would be a nightmare if I had to get to the Bb sliver key on the upper joint, or switch my right forefinger from the tone hole to the side key and back.

ALL
How is it that the 1-1 plays Bb6 in tune and Eb 4 out of tune?

thanks for the latter
