Re: F Resonance problem

Howard,

Your vid. shows that the key springs closed, but not that it springs open as it should.

There is a tiny leaf-spring under the F-resonance that springs it upwards. Has this detached?
Just pressing RH ring finger should allow the key to rise and stand open. Please do the following test:

1. Depress RH-ring finger (D-key, E tone-hole). at this point the F-res should stand open. In your case - no.

2. Press the F-res open. Does it stay open?

3. Press the F-res closed with your finger - does it stay closed?

If so - it could be that the leaf-spring has broken. If at 3 the F-res springs back open, it could be the problem is with the rocker-mechanism behind it.

J.
