Tech/maintenance palm key notes

How positive can this be
The palm key notes on any mid-20th century European soprano can be made playable by a very good tech.

I don't agree.

Only if there’s a pretty severe problem with the neck. To play palm key notes you open the keys, so there won’t be leak problems.

Huh?

Has someone said they can't be made playable? Or that they aren't playable?

Your question is very vague. Please clarify what the question or concern is.

It is the same person who in the Venus & knockoffs clarinet thread posted, "Please no cheap cracks about Chinese saxes, Venus in particular, are good !"

But hasn't contributed much beyond the initial post.

Some sopranos, like Keilwerth and Mark VI's, have a reputation for being tough to voice up top; even for experienced players who have no trouble on other sopranos. I can tell you the VI I had took some extra attention... but that was playing with a C*. When I put a Selmer G tipped mouthpiece on it, it opened up accordingly for me.
