Don't blame me! It's been like that since I tried it in Howarths... Actually, having looked at it again this afternoon, I wonder if it's something to do with the screws and/or springs. (Not that I really know what I'm talking about here.) If you hold both B and Bb down, what happens when you take your finger off the Bb key is that the key itself (where your finger is) lifts up very slightly, but it doesn't seem to have sufficient 'weight' to come up fully and bring the covering of the hole up further down. Chris, does that make sense? Could you diagnose?
