 Re: Cor anglais/English horn problems

Thanks Craig. I'll try that.
I took and left the instrument at repairers today. As you say, there is some play on the rod over the first finger plate. It's minimal, but we guess there is a possibility that that plus perhaps I may have not a huge amount of finger pressure on the key, could amount to the odd leak.
That top plate on my instrument is only supported by one arm (I can't think of another word for it!) I gather some instruments have two. Therefore the top split of the plate goes down a little like a seesaw, a point again which could, under some circumstances, be adding to or causing the problem.
Since this fault is so intermittent it may be some time before I find out if we have fixed it. The repairer is first going to deal with this key, but make a note of anything else he spots. Best to change just one thing at a time.

Fingers crossed!
