Norman,

It's funny you say that because my old 1010s were not an exact pair. The A had the first Acton Vent design while the Bb had the second. I remember in a rehearsal of the Nielsen Concerto, whilst doing my undergrad, I was having really problems and couldn't for the life of me work it out. I finally realised that the screw keept undoing itself which is most unhelpful when playing that piece. A little clear nail varnish did the trick.

The second version, looking back now, probably felt quite "clunky". Any ideas when the design changed? My 1010s then, where only about 2 or 3 years apart from each other according to the serial numbers. I don't recall of the top of my head what they were but I may have it written down somewhere if your interested. I seem to remember that they were certainly older than me.
