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.
