Re: G slur D adjustment

On the low C key touchpiece arm there are two screws - the outermost one (nearest RH3) is the Philadelphia D adjustment and the one mounted directly on the arm controls the venting of the RH2 fingerplate, so this is the one to adjust to help top C# and D.

Set this up so when the low C key is fully closed, there's still a tiny amount of movement in the RH2 fingerplate - much less than half a millimetre, but neither fully closing and see how you go from there.

Also try screwing down the LH1 fingerplate so it too almost closes and see if that helps - but this is usually done when lifting LH1 off instead of rolling or sliding down.
