Re: Moving a tone hole

Or even adding a plateau key with an extension for a touchpiece, if reaching the original hole is the problem.

The one caution I see with drilling a new hole (by someone who has the tools to drill into the material) is that you don't get to do much experimenting with the new placement. Adding an extended plateau gives you the option of lengthening, shortening the new mechanism or re-positioning it up or down if the first attempt turns out not to be ideal. Once you find the best spot, you could still consider drilling a new hole there.
