I am currently completing an overhaul on a "Mexiconn" shooting star alto. I am not satisfied with the performance of the G# key/lever. My usual setup for older conns is to cover the curve of the lever contact with 1/64 cork covered with Feree teflon tape. If appears to me that the fulcrum on the lever is different the the Chu's and other older Conns I have serviced. I have tried Many variation in tension to the stock springs an get only adequate results. (I am looking for stellar...The customer is a collegiate level player who loves the horn for Jazz band).
Would a change from the stock springs be helpful? (And what dia. wire would you recommend for the lever/cup). Is there a modification to the lever that could be made?
Any setup suggestions would be appreciated.
