Re: Repair help (selmer 33 bass octave mechanism)

Seconding what jdbassplayer said, I had the same issue for a while when the sliver of cork padding between the two keys kept falling off. When it would happen while I was playing, I'd have to rotate the neck a little closer to the rod so they'd be a bit closer together.

I eventually had to wrap a piece of shrink wrap tubing around the bumper pad on the little arm on the body side of the mechanism that activates the neck register vent. That works pretty well and the little sliver of cork has stayed put for a few years now. Not the prettiest, but nobody's looking there.
