I've been playing quite a lot on my Buffet S2 tenor, which is an absolutely great horn - probably as good as my MkVI.
It has developed an intermittent problem where the G2, F#2 and F2 sometimes won't speak at all and sometimes scream up to a much higher harmonic.
I'm hoping that some of the technical people here can point me in the right direction to fix it myself.
I'm guessing that the cause could be related to either the octave mechanism or to the G# pad not closing properly. I've looked at both as I play and closer-up when I'm not playing, but there is nothing obviously wrong.
The Buffet S2 has an unusual octave mechanism with a sort of pivot for changing between the two ocatve holes and the pivot is itself moved by the G key. But all that seems to be working normally.
Help !
