Hi Chris,
It's a Marigaux 901.
Just re-read what I wrote...don't think I made any sense at all!
When I was slurring from LH Eb to RH C#, there was a delay in C# speaking, and additionally, when RH C# was depressed, there was free play in the actual Eb key, despite the link mechanism appearing to be engaged. I turned the screw above the mechanism which eliminated the free play of the Eb key. Now, I can sustain the RH C# and hit the LH Eb key without it interrupting the C# note at all - does this mean I have adjusted it correctly?
The RH Eb spatula is moving slightly with the RH C# spatula - not the whole way, but not staying still either. I am assuming that isn't a good thing?
Re: the rod, thanks for confirming exactly why I should not be the one to remove the rod! As a flute player I do know a fabulous flute repairer here, and I will ask him if he can take a look. Good tip!
Thanks, Chris, as always with your words of repairer's wisdom!
