 Re: What is the best way to adjust needle spring tension

There are a number of ways to look at the bridge key. I do appreciate being able to adjust how the pads hit based on a slight difference in alignment. That said, I have mine adjusted so that I get the best seal between both the upper and lower joint pads with the bridge aligned dead center. I am using the Quartz Resonance pads (the have no practical compliance) on ALL keys so it goes without saying that I check this EVERY TIME I put the horn together.


One way to make the bridge junction less "hair trigger," would be to use a softer, less demanding pad on one of these keys (either the top pad of the lower joint OR the cup between the left hand first and second fingers). When Brannen did a full cork for the top joint, he made sure to use a felt pad with triple fish skin on the top of the bottom joint (even thought the sliver key was fitted with cork....same size).
