Try either a Howarth No. 2 or Loree No. 2 crooks to see if that helps.

The owner of a Markardt cor I recently serviced called me in a panic as she couldn't get most of the upper register on it when she got it back. She then tried some new crooks and that solved the problem. The only significant change I made to her cor was replacing the 8ve inserts and wells as the originals were pretty grim and I thought that might have caused it to play up (although it played alright when I tested it), but I was relieved to hear it was problems with the original crooks rather than anything I did that caused it to misbehave.
