 Left D# Adjustment Problem
Author: mjfoboe

HI,

I have a strange adjustment problem.

My left side D# key is giving me an occasional harmonic octave b when I play the middle D#.

Now my right side D# and D play fine and I can't repeat the problem there.

It seems that all the keys: the Ab F# that might be the culprit
are in adjustment. Never had this problem before.

I also watched my finger placement on the keys. No problem there the right hand D# plays great.

Very strange indeed.

Suggestions?

Mark

Well ... maybe I need a new piece of cork on the ab key. There is the possibility as observed under the magnifying glass the as my pinky reaches the left D# key it does slightly touch the Ab key and I can see a some micro moment. Can't adjust the F# key screw any more~! :(.

Any other insights?

Yep~! I put a piece of thin cardboard above he cork to add height and the problem did stop.

What is the best glue/cement to use to put a piece of cork on the remainder piece? Or on the metal?

PS: Until I replace the cork I cut out a piece of a fabric band aid and placed it on the cork. It works just fine.

Super glue is what I've always used for attaching bumper corks (my preferred brand is "Instant Jet" CA [cyanoacrylate] glue).
