Speaking of which . . .
My beloved Covey is way overdue for servicing, but it will have to wait another month because I need it to play.
I pulled all the keys off the top joint yesterday, cleaned out the toneholes (yuk!), put it back together, and it is remarkably improved -- much easier and clearer than it had been.
Based on the dramatic improvement this minor bit of servicing created, I am thinking I need to do the same with the lower joint. But that intimidates me. I am fearful about the fact that the main rod must be removed in a way that allows the lower key mechanism to come off first. It looks so complicated, and I am afraid that if I mess it up, it will be messed up big time.
So, Dutchy, you intrepid person you, are you saying that you have taken the bottom joint apart and cleaned it out without opening yourself to disaster?
