Re: Repair technicians- your advice is needed

Chris is correct. You can try a small 1/2 piece of electrical tape on the key pad closest to the mouthpiece side, below the B/E key to lower the pitch. A very common practice with Moennig in the mid 70's when I studied with him.

I'm not sure what F and D you are referring to. But yes these can be adjusted by most talented repairmen.

Mouthpieces and barrels will make a big difference, so I've always tried not to undercut holes unless that note or note dead sounding and need to be freed up.
