Re: Repair question

I liked the suggestion that the rings are maladjusted - I am persnickety about this myself but often fail to bring it up in these discussions. Flush with the surrounding wood usually works most often but it's a matter of comfortably bringing down the cup above the right index finger while sealing the hole completely with the tip of your fingers.

Also in addition to the above suggestions, the problem may be that the right hand Ab/Eb key may not have enough spring tension. This key will "blow open" with standard playing air pressure and leave you with the notes below not speaking - these notes are more sensitive to the problem than the clarion register.
