 Re: Bridge Key Adjustment

On the low Bb (Bb3 - below the staff), the LEFT hand closes all the holes on the upper joint regardless of whether the bottom joint is even attached. If the cork between the two parts of the bridge is too large, it will prevent the top hole on the lower joint from closing.

On the 1 and 1 fingering of the high Bb (Bb5), the right hand should close the hole on the top joint. If it doesn't, you need a thicker pad in the bridge joint. A quick emergency (and troubleshooting) fix is to rotate the bottom joint vs the top joint; this will close the top hole or leave it open further, depending on which way you rotate it.
