Hi Chris. Yes. I"ve now set the adjustment so that the top plate is now only just very slightly above the tone hole when either the Thumb Plate or the 2nd ring is pressed The 3rd finger ring is only decorative. It's not part of the mechanism.
As well as this I"m finding that the Eb ( top space) half hole fingerings without the 1st Otave key is not necessary as I can just finger this note like the E / F ect above. (no half holeing plus octave key) I don't actually hear any serious tuning problems in doing this. Perhaps a slight sharpness which is easily fix with the embouchure. And the Eb problem I mentioned before is now fixed as well.
