Just wondering if anyone else finds the offset positioning of LH2 causes them grief.

The LH2 fingerplate is on a longer arm which means it's out of line with the other man action toneholes, and this causes me trouble as my middle finger will uncover the perforation in the fingerplate if I'm not careful.

I realise the offset positioning allows for better venting, but it does come at a physical price for those of us with relatively long fingers as LH2 has to be either flat (which is no good) or acutely arched.

The opinions I express are my own.
