I have a Trevor James Classic Tenor which I love, sounds great, and plays all notes quite easily.
That's the good news 🙂.
The not so good news is a rattle/clanking sound when I play a G. I've traced the noise to a pillar which supports the rod connected to the G key, about an inch up from the joint connecting the rod to the bar with the pearl key on the end (please excuse the terminology!). The top of the offending pilar is u shaped and the rod just sits in it. It seems as though the u shaped support is slightly too wide, but not wide enough for a felt pad to have fallen out (I think).
I've had the horn about 6 months and it may have always been there, but now I can play quietly it's getting annoying 😀.
Would it be a case of removing the rod, nipping the u together a bit and lubricating or trying to line it with something to prevent metal to metal contact, or will it need a visit to the doctor?.
Thanks in advance,
Jools
