[QUOTE="dexdex, post: 628829, member: 2208"] I had that discussion with myself regarding both high F# and G on a soprano some time ago. Saving some weight was also an expected side benefit. I didn't keep the horn, discussion closed. I also tend to slightly hit the high F# lever on 1 of my tenors, due to the sub-optimal fit between the keys layout and my sloppy technique. It happens when playing side Bb with the right palm. What I did just a couple of days ago, is to strengthen the spring of the F#. It is now beefy enough that I really need to be sure to press THAT lever on purpose. Problem solved for me. [/QUOTE]
