Re: Baffled why a certain note squeaks

Is the low F# at all stuffy with the left hand pinky compared to the right hand pinky? Try blowing a slow crescendo from zero volume up to mf, you will detect it easier that way. If you notice a difference it's cause is probably a play in the keywork. Can be confirmed by wiggling the F# rod back and forth in the direction of it's length, while excessive play would be felt by your hand and heard as clicking. Can be fixed by a qualified tech with the right kind of equipment (certain pliers to lengthen the rod in question).
