Re: weak note : collapsing F4

On a standard Boehm clari the l/h F ring is physically linked to the pad under the A key and operates with it, and these can also both be operated by the thumb ring.
On a plateau clari the l/h F ring is not directly connected to the pad under the A key although they share the same pivot rod. There is a small projection on the pad below the A key which sits under the arm of the F ring. This allows the F key to operate the pad under the A but does not allow the thumb ring to operate the F ring. The pad under the A key has its own spring.
