Well, the next question I have (I haven't really played the contrabass since earlier today)
There's this little tube at the top left (with the mouthpiece facing you) of the body. Every time I press down the register key, that little key lifts up just barely a millimeter.
Should it be lifting up? I remember pressing it down accidentally while trying to do the chromatic scale earlier while lifting my instrument by the top (bad idea, I know) and when I pressed it down, I was able to hit the notes above the high F on the staff, and even get to high C, but I couldn't go any higher since higher notes need the right hand. As you probably could tell, my right hand was holding down this key in particular.
Is it a leak? Or is it some genius keywork to help you get those notes out?
I noticed when I'm going from B in the middle of the staff, that key is all the way up until the D, so it's used for something.
It's a Bundy BTW.
