I have recently purchased a B-W bronze tenor (and it is beautiful xxx), but after a couple of days a problem has arisen with one of the tone holes.
Please forgive my ignorance of the correct name for said hole/cover
. It is a right-hand cover immediately above the low 'F' finger pearl, and appears to be 'partnered' with the low 'D' finger pearl. Straight out of the case, I can whizz up an 'F' major scale, but coming down again, the 'G' sounds 'F#' because the cover has not lifted.
Can any of you techie sax players give me an idea of where to look, as it seems to my tiny brain that there is either a dodgy or missing spring. I don't want to do open heart surgery, but it would be good if I could sort it without having to trek back down South...
Thanks! 🙂
