Re: Stuffy register F

BTW this 10G is a serial X*****. Although it may not have gotten Ralph Morgan's personal touch, closer inspection revealed that someone has put a little wax on one side of each of the open holes on the lower joint. Since XXX XOO (F ) was stuffy, I cleaned out the wax on the second hole which is the one that emits F. ( I double checked the sealing of the F# pad and the bridge first. ) This improved the F somewhat. Encouraged, I took a little off the bottom and sides of the tone hole-a little improvement here. I'm reluctant to take any more-I think I'll play it a bit more before any I make any more dangerous mods. Thanks for the suggestions, and keep them coming.

Jerry
