Re: Stuffy half-hole C#

As it's a fully automatic (Marigaux 910), is the LH1 fingerplate linked to and lowered by the bridge from LH3 to the 8ve mechanism, or is it completely independent with the adjusting screw making contact with a disc of cork on the body?

With the top plate linked to the bridge, closing LH3 will lower the top plate down but shouldn't close it completely and you set the closure with the adjusting screw. You can use the open C# with all fingers off with this set-up.

If the top plate is completely independent, then set it to how you prefer - either fully open if you roll LH1 down to half-hole (and use the open C# with all fingers off), or closed down but not completely if you lift LH1 off instead of rolling down.
