Try Hard Die Hard

while I have been inspecting this handcraft sax I have come across a small key on the lower side of the sax just above the joint with the bow that doesn't appear to do anything and also appears to have no operable linkage to another key, the key is permanently closed by its spring and although there is a link to it from another key it cannot operate it as although it sits below its tail it fails to touch it when operating the other key and can only serve to try and close it more if it did touch it,can any of you techs explain what it's all about.
Also on the lower stack if all the pads tend to touch first at the back of the pad does this mean that the posts are likely to be out of line and need trueing up by tapping away from the tone holes to level the pads or is it best to leave well alone and level with the keys and pads.
Any info much appreciated......John
