Re: B not always speaking properly

I (like Chris) am assuming full conservatoire with added TP ..

perhaps the con-bar has been too finely adjusted ..

1. Check that when you press your thumbplate it is not still touching the con-bar - the mechanism that springs those two little keys closed. The con-bar should spring up almost to the full travel of the thumbplate, but there should be a tiny gap once the thumbplate is fully depressed. Check this on the top-joint alone, disassembled.

2. Now re-assemble. There is a connection from RH 1 to the con-bar mechanism (it is the standard conservatoire A-Bb and B-C mechanism). the connection crosses the joint between the lower and upper halves of the instrument. check that there is a tiny gap in this connection when you are not pressing RH1.
