Hi all,
I just got a Grabner G13, tried it out for a couple of hours with my 576BC, and really liked the sound. There is a problem, however, that I hope somebody will know what to do about it.
For a lot of notes, there is a strong/loud hissing sound, obviously from padded keys. It is most noticeable in the chalumeau, in forked low A#, C#, throat E, and throat B-flat, the last one sounding quite dull too. There's hissing in other notes too (low F, F#, G, G#, and others), but in the notes I mentioned it is quite loud.
Normally the answer would be "increase key height" or "replace/file pad," but: (a) this does not happen with any other mouthpiece, including a Ridenour HW and a Fobes Debut, and (b) it would be strange if, in light of (a), _all_ padded keys suddenly needed adjusting.
Any clues? I just wrote an e-mail to Walter about it, but I'm casting a wide net in the hopes somebody has seen this before and has an answer...
Cheers,
-Cesar
