HI Guys
I have noticed on my Super 80 Series II that when you press the low C# pinky lever the pad opens and sort of vibrates in and out a bit--I suppose "bounces" would be a better term
The thing is that on the small round metal plate that is attached to the C# arm there is no felt pad like there is on my old 66R so when it hits the screw adjuster on the low B cup arm it makes a noise--the adjuster screw on the B cup arm has what looks like a hard plastic piece sticking out--I'm sure there is a proper name for it---which pushes down on the small round plate on the C# arm
The sax plays properly and the adjustment on the B cup arm screw seems right as it hold the C# shut properly when you play low B--I assume therefore that nothing has fallen off
The same arrangement on the 66R also bounces a bit but because of the felt pad its silent
Any suggestions
Can I put a bit of felt on the small round plate and back off the screw on the B cup arm to compensate
Is this a common problem
Tx
