Fitting A LH C# Key...

Author: Chris P

I've decided to take the plunge and fit a LH C# key to my kingwood Howarth S5. So far it's linked to the C key but will in due course be linked to the C# touchpiece.

I've designed this mechanism so no extra pillars are needed - it uses all the existing ones and the banana key pillars have been changed for two pillars of the same height.

Next job is fitting the clutch for the D#-E trill linkage and then the low Bb-B linkage which is right at the bottom of the instrument as soldering a tab to the underside of the low B touch interferes with the mechanism, so playing LH Eb will tip the low Bb touch over which will give C# instead. And then finally removing the link from the C key and fitting a new C# touch with a link and adjusting screw.

I'm pretty much at the point of no return!
