I recently bought a King Zephyr and most of the pads seem to be white but there are a few brown pads does anyone know if they came standard with white pads, the funny thing is the brown pads look older than the white so I'm not sure what has happened in the past, seems strange to change to white but leave a few brown or even having taken the trouble to go white then let a few brown pads be put back in.
It plays very well from the top right down to low C but it's a struggle to get B and Bb playing cleanly,I have put a light in it and there was big leaks on both on the outside edge, I thought it might be a knock to the bell but then noticed the post for the keys had taken a knock so I gently tapped it back which got rid of most of the leak but not all, where to go from here,should it be possible to take the leak out by tweaking or is it best to go for new pads.
Although I said it plays well from the top down,on putting the light in it shows lots of leaks on the compound keys so the regulation needs attention would it be best to repaid rather than try to sort out the old pads
