 Re: Using the octave key.

Hi Chris. Yes. that's what I actually do. I roll my 1st finger up against the extension tab a bit. As I mentioned to Geoff , if I slide my 1st finger it often causes my 2nd finger to also slightly slide off it's open ring resulting in the Eb not sounding at all.
So , as you say, those who lift their 1st finger off the LH 1 plate , need to have this plate adjusted to remain very slightly opened with the Thumb Plate depressed. Does this mean that , as I actually roll my finger, this plate needs to be adjusted to be completely closed with the TP depressed.
The 1st finger (LH 1) finger plate is completely independent and has an adjusting screw. It is not connected to the LH 2 ring key.
