I've had an annoying little issue for a while on my Super 20 alto. My low Bb was almost impossible to get out and my B and C# also suffered sometimes. I had been putting it down to me. Then today, I noticed that my D2 and Eb2 didn't come out if I was holding down the G# key. I thought about this Had to be a leak. And the G# is activated when any of the LH pinky keys are pressed. So I checked. Even with my RH fingers down, the G# key was lifting just a little bit, enough to mess up whatever note I was playing. I adjusted the screw on the arm that holds it down about a half turn. Problem gone! Every note responds beautifully.
