Tech/maintenance A new problem (for me)

[Alice]

The owner hadn't noticed he'd lost his left forefinger in a lawnmowing accident

Perhaps he disturbed one of Colin's hedgehogs whilst lawn mowering and it sprang up like a teeth gnashing ball of fury and bit it off?
Can anyone confirm please if the hedgehog in this scenario is ok or should I get on the phone to Mrs.Tiggywinkles?

Perhaps he was playing the theme tune to 'Just a minute' and as it's on the BBC was trying to avoid repetition.

Just avoid songs with a "B"in it was the solution!

How long do we have to wait for the answer? The suspense is killing me!

I know!! Come on Mr. @jbtsax !

Ok. Ok. The answer was so simple, I was embarrassed that I didn't see it right away. The B key was not closing the C key* because the cork between the top of the B foot and the back bar of the C had moved out of place. This caused every note to play perfectly except B. [because the A key closes the C for everything else]. However, since it was still hanging by a thread of contact cement on the side of the cork, it moved back into place atop the B foot when the customer put it in the case to bring to me.

What the customer said to me was that it was like the B wasn't closing the small key above it. I then put my "pig sticker" into the cork and it came right off. Spike's comment caused me to think of this:

"2B or not 2B---that is the question" which summed it up quite nicely.

* For those not familiar with the terminology, the C key (keycup) is the small one located directly above the B.

I predicted it may have something to do with the cup sitting above the front F key and above the B cup. I just didn't know what it was called. I didn't actually know it was for the C until now. I didn't really know what it did, except that it moves along with the B.
