After ebonite and Chris P's posts, I tried exerting a bit more pressure on the L2 and L3 keys while playing the D4 and D#4 and they were indeed improved and voiced more similarly with the adjacent notes!
This instrument seems to be set up as described: closing L3 closes a single tone hole, but also lowers, while not fully closing, the E/B vent under L2, and the key underneath and to the side of L3. If only pressing on L3 there remains a gap of roughly 2mm between L3 and these two keys. Does this seem like an excessive gap to mitigate interference with L3?
It seems as if L2 is closing the two pads equally, but something changes when I put more pressure on L2 and L3 together, which suggests that a better seal occurs.
Might one of these pads be out of level with the tone hole?
