Re: C#-D# link question

I have found more frequently than the rod being bent that a bump on the RH Eb key (from your chair for instance) has kinked the tube at the join with the Eb key, causing it to bind on the rod. This will manifest itself if, while holding down the C key, you depress and release the C# and it doesn't return to closed.

If the kink is not too bad it can sometimes be fixed by pulling the Eb key away from the key cluster in the opposite direction, unbending the kink. Be firm but not too aggressive.

If this doesn't work, take it to your mechanic...
