Good morning, kind of you to reply.
The C and C sharp are fine _ the problem is with the D, the D sharp, the E, the F and the F sharp. The G upwards is fine. If I play the C and move up legato is also plays fine. Likewise, playing G and moving down legato to the C is fine. The problem is in starting the notes mentioned in the clarion register. I would say the problem has come on over time as I've noticed an increasing difficulty with these notes.
My leak testing consists of sealing the the body and blowing/sucking, a light test and using cigarette papers as feelers around the pad. I've also had the pads off to check that the wood is not damaged. I've just tried pressing directly on the F sharp pad as you suggest but no improvement.
Be glad to hear your comments off you've time but I also think it might be time to visit the workshop.
John
