G slur D adjustment

Author: mjfoboe

Hi,

It seems my octave G slur to D is hesitating.

I have a Philadelphia Facilitator - and I haven't had problems in the past. Problem is consistent somewhat across all my reeds.

I have readjusted the facilitator key - a little tighter and looser - no great changes - although tighter seemed better. I examined the C and D ---> E adjustment screws too - did not make any major adjustments there.

Of course with more air and a firmer embouchure - the problem is somewhat manageable; however, it should really slur up with ease.

If I play the scale up top the D - it sings beautifully ..... it is just the G to D slur. Of course if I lift my first finger completely off the B key - it slurs well - but I don't like the timbre at all. And yes, I am sliding my finger off the half hole cleanly and efficiently.

How should I systematically approach the adjustment problem?

Mark
