Tweaking the pivot screw doesn't make any difference, and the F#-G# is fine too. I don't think there are any weird alignment things going on.
Looking at it again, though, I'm noticing the following: if I have a C fingering and then put the thumbplate down, the con-bar is often quite 'lazy' about going all the way up, ie. screw 1 is taking its time to lift up. Therefore the C pad is slow going down. I'm fairly sure that this is what is making my dodgy note - if I stick my finger on the C pad when I play B, it comes out fine. It's just not getting down quickly enough in the normal course of playing.
So is there anything I can do to get the con-bar to lift properly, or is it something to do with the spring underneath it?
