I have a 1936 10M (my typo said 1935 on recent thread, but it's 1936). This is truly a lovely tenor. The issue here is a sticking A pad.
I play this horn every day. The pads are black Roo and as far as pads go they have been the best I've had on any horn. I know some prefer white Roo, etc, but I've black ones. No pads stick but for that pesky A pad. Going from A up to B, often is delayed while the horn waits for the A pad to lift. :evil:
Yes, I do the dollar bill trick, but, the A pad resumes sticking a day later. Has anyone installed a helper spring under the lifting arm down at the F pad? This seems like it would work, but there may be something much simpler.
What do all you 10M players do or am I the only one with this issue?
