Thanks for the replys.

Yes the bridge mechanism on RH1 does activate the same pad in question but that's not what I am doing. And yes, this fingering is clumsy when going up from a lower note because of uncovering LH2 briefly. Otherwise you have to slide the finger off the hole without letting the pad up. But I find it works well when going from a higher note like F or G . That way you only have to put down 2 fingers instead of 3. And it isn't sharp to my ears. But I didn't test it with a tuner. I will do that tomorrow.

The reason I get some fuzziness sometimes, is purely due to inexperience and sloppiness - usually when trying to play faster than my skills allow and my LH3 finger ends up causing a partial covering with the C tone hole. When I play slow there is no problem normally so I don't think anything is bent or misaligned.

I don't use the RH side key. It feels awkward to me but I should practice it. This is all beginner stuff of course. Once my fingers develop the proper memory and synchronization, putting down 2 fingers instead of 3 will probably not be an issue.

Looking forward to "discovering" more "unique" fingerings.

Cheers,

Luc
