So this was interesting today on a horn .. which I can't quite figure out. I was playing a very late sn# VI. not fixing it but just play testing it - but it looks like it needs to be fixed ...
G# w/octave is having a hard time holding that note. I can change my airstream . embouchure (by tightening it) etc to keep it but that is not the solution i'm looking for.
The G is fine, the F is fine. G# starts that dreadful weird wobbling before dropping down an octave.
I've checked the neck octave is closed (taped it to confirm); checked for leaks - varied the height of hte body octave; varied the height of the octave lever action ... i'm kinda out of ideas now ..
has any one come across this before ?
Could it be due to the neck being a little loose ?
late mk VI (in the VII sn#s) tenor
i pulled out alot of the mpcs I had with me - my Couf J8* at 2.4mm tip opening, Selmer metal classic E, Couf 6*R, and a couple other mpcs w/Vandoren 3s
