My TJ revolution alto has been playing ace since its last service (err nearly a year ago) until last night - In the middle of my practice it suddenly developed a major problem but I cant see any obvious reason why.
The problem manifests itself whenever you have to play notes using the left hand pinky table keys
ie low bflat, low b, low C# and low Eflat. The problem is a change of octave and a very thin muffled sound - All other notes play ok.
As far as I can see the only common thread is the G# mechanism - this opens normally(?) when ever these notes are played - but there must be something untoward happening somewhere around this mech?
Any clues - I'm like a caged tiger at the moment, pacing the house cause I want to blow the weekend away and cant !!
Cheers
