My poor used Selmer-Bundy gets played several hours a day, almost every day of the week. I say poor, because it is subjected to my playing.
The spring for the upper "A" key has broken. It appears to be nothing more than a piece of piano wire that fatigued over time.
I normally like to work on the horn myself but, in this case, I was unable to determine how the springs are actually retained. It appears that the round projection through which the shaft that the key pivots on retains it, but I cannot tell.
As I did not want to damage it, I took it in for repair, but I am curious as to how these springs (the piano wire ones) are retained.
Any information would be greatly apprecieated.
Thank you all in advance.
