Karl, thank you. You are right. For instruments from big brands, they can just order the key from the factory while for cheaper instruments, it is not worthwhile. Again, it is really impressive that jdbassplayer did this to repair that "factory second" instrument. Besides, the repairman must be very good at the acoustics theory to do this. Fixing some minor tuning problems by epoxy or undercutting, fine, not so extraordinary, but filling the register vent and drill another one 1 cm higher? Wow! How did he calculate the position? Did he measure the bore and position of other tone holes? Or just simple base upon experience? In any case, I am super impressed. kdk wrote:
