Hi All!
I have a couple of issues I need help with:
1- my c# is extremely buzzy, and I dont know waht to do. Do you have any easy repair ideas? I am in the middle of a tour, so I cant go to a repair shop.
Also, does anyone know of a good repair man in Paris? i will be there
in July and really wanted to have it checked.
Thanks for the help!!
Michal.

You probably need to replace some pads, because buzzy usually means air is leaking. It can be the corks, or the pads. Check them out.

The low C# is usually a bit fuzzy, but shouldn't be too bad if everything is working alright.

Sometimes with double bladder pads the first layer will sag a bit and flap against the other. This can be remedied by replacing the offending pad. Key height may be off a bit and need to be regulated. Perhaps it is not vented enough. A repairer can determine the cause and fix your problem.

If you are referring to the second octave c#, you might try cleaning out your register key vent tube with a pipe cleaner. Sometimes this is the culprit.

I have my own reason for bad C#. Had an accident, and I do not have left little finger at all. I use the side of my 4th finger with c# key. And the long keys by right little finger. Michal, your pipe is easier to repair than my hand.
