Hey everyone,
I have a little buzz in the bottom of my lower joint, on the notes C5, C#5, and D5 especially, sometimes a few notes higher. This is a really, really weird problem for me because not only does it come and go, but I can't find any valid explanation - I've tried different reeds, ligs, all the things that produce sound, as well as checking the mechanism itself - my instructor thought it sounded like a spring buzzing, and so I've had two people in my studio now try and play around with springs, levers, pads, etc while I play the bad notes.
Has anyone heard of anything like this? Any hidden mechanisms I'm missing? I know this isn't really a problem anyone can give me a straight answer for, but when the buzz does come its really annoying and I'm really trying to find out all I can.
Oh yeah, and the lower clarion notes are really bad - the corresponding chalmeau notes you can hear the buzz but not as distinctly.
