Re: Albert system, position of throat F sharp vent

If the open G is sharp after you've added the vent, then you can always fill in the thumb hole to flatten it or fit a metal or plastic thumb tube that protrudes into the bore (and flush with the outer diameter of the joint) to both double to flatten the open G and also help to keep condensation running out from the thumb hole.

German and Oehler systems have the throat A key close the F# vent, either having the throat A touchpiece close down directly on the vent pad cup if it's soldered to the top side of the LH1 ring, or have a bar soldered to the top side that runs under the throat A touch if the vent is on the lower side of the LH1 ring.
