Re: Pad seating on G#/A key!

I usually make notes on the top of those cups (little + or - felt pen marks) according to wether I want more or less of the pad to stick out of the cup in those areas. In other words, decide how you want those two pads to look before taking the keys off the horn. That at least gets me in the ballpark, and they often don't need to be 'readjusted' after reassembly.

I assume you're not asking about the adjustment screw setting. That screw (if present) should be adjusted so the A key lifts just slightly before lifting the G# key.
