Nicholas, indeed I noticed that as well. I thought the oboe wasn't lining up right until I noticed the G key was slightly offset, the banana key is curved in more and closer to the D key so it definitely becomes a lot more practical to use.

Chris, thank you for your suggestion. I forgot to mention something about the forked F resonance vent too, it's a bit quirky. From what I understand, the forked F pad should not depress very hard, only just enough to feel that it is dragging the feeler gauge securely.

When the forked F vent goes down to play low D, I can still tap the key with my finger and it will go down a little bit more. But if I test it with a feeler, the grip is pretty strong. I also tried playing low D and used my pinky to hold down the forked F vent, the low D is still a bit stuffy.

Some of the bumper pads looked a bit too thick, I sliced them down a little bit and the issue seems to have improved.
