Re: back to basics - throat Bb to C

One issue that can complicate crossing the break is a leak, especially on the 1 - 1 Bb/Eb bridge link. If the bridge is misadjusted it makes it much harder. Check to make sure the upper bridge is centered where it should be on the lower bridge. Next, try holding down the LH Bb/Eb pad cup (on the ring key), then press the RH three ring key pad cup. The 3 ring key pad should go all the way down with VERY light pressure. Then try the reverse. The LH Eb/Bb key should close firmly with only light pressure on the RH 3 ring key. If there is any slop in either, or you have to use pressure to close either, you have a leak.
