Re Uebel Superior: I have the same issue with the left hand sliver key to the extent that I’ve put it away in favor of my R13. The sliver key posts are mounted “lower” than on Buffet (btw; the Buffet sliver fits the Uebel but the pad doesn’t line up because of the post positions) so that the sliver is perpendicular to the upper joint. On the Buffet the sliver slightly curves around the second finger ring. No wiggle room for the LH third finger and I don’t have large hands or wide fingers. I’ve thinned the key to no avail.
Also, has anyone experienced dullness of tone on G, G#, and A just above the staff top line? If so, anybody find the remedy? For me it’s as if the bottom falls out of the sound.
Re pads: Durable but “sticky” and noisy when lifting off tone holes. I’ve had a fair number replaced.
The instrument feels a bit smaller than my Buffet in my hands resulting in the LH alternate Ab/Eb being in the way. Took it off.
Have to admit, though, the build of the horn is SOLID!
If I can get these issues resolved I’ll be better able to determine if the horn is for me.
