Festival Eb/Ab lever problem

Author: David Kinder

I was playing with our ensemble this evening, and I noticed I couldn't go over the break easily. From the A key to the B on the staff was rather difficult. I finally traced the problem to the auxillary eb/ab lever. When I'd press the regular eb fingering, it would raise the aux key. No problem. However, when i'd RELEASE the regular Eb fingering, the aux key would keep the pad open just enough for a substantial leak, therefore my problem. I finally just took the extra lever OFF the instrument.

Has anyone else had this problem? What could I do for this? It is a new instrument as of 4 months ago.
