Thanks a lot to everyone who replied to my post.
Special thanks to Clarnibass: your suggestion to try C# without the key resulted in a completely clear sound, without any stuffiness.
Accidentally, I also noted the strong "focused" stream of air coming out from the tone hole so the theory that the stepped pad is obstructing the air flow seems to be correct.
So it's time to order a cork pad.
However, if I was to change the C#/G# to a cork pad, are there any other pads that would benefit from changing to cork?
Also, is there any difference in fitting cork pads compared to bladder/leather pads?
What thickness should cork pads be, esp. if installing them on the side keys?
In my experience, the side keys pads were more difficult to fit than the rest, trying to achieve even tone hole coverage and a good seal.
Is there any difference between cork pads from Musicmedic, Ferrees or JL Smith?
Thank you
