The tone of the throat Bb was improved on my RC Bb by the tech replacing the factory-fitted felt pad with a cork one, chamfering the pad edges and checking that the pad opened far enough. Although the tone is still not as clear as on other notes, ( and I have never heard a throat Bb played by anyone that is), it was a vast improvement. I periodically remove the speaker key and run a pipe cleaner through the speaker vent to clean it, and then a piece of wire to remove any fluff left by the pipe cleaner.
