Re: Slurring to top D

You can experiment by closing the top fingerplate down so it barely moves (but there is still a small amount of movement there like the 3rd 8ve key) to see if this helps the top D and Eb. This will also allow you to raise LH instead of rolling down.

You can experiment by filling in the diamond with Blu-Tack (or anything similar that can be removed easily of you don't like the result) and making a hole through the centre with a needle to whatever diameter works best. If you want something a bit more permanent (but can still be removed) then use wax.

And adust the closure of RH2 fingerplate when closing the low C key so it too almost closes (but doesn't close completely) which will affect the top C# more.
