Low End Resistance - Fixed
I have switched from the SX90 to the CJS tenor permanently (meaning I no longer own the JK) due to my hobbit like finger's and especially due to problems with the left hand pinkey. I tried and tried, hoped it would improve, but, confirmed by my instructor, it is just physically not possible for me to reliably operate LH pinkey keys on the JK.
For me the keywork is a great relief on this B&S stencil, as it is nice and compact.
However, I do miss the soft low end of the JK. The bow and bell keys are seem to be a trade off between tone, intonation and air support.
I do realise this is a different design, but are there means to make the bell keys easier to blow with good intonation? Pushing the mpc further on the neck helps, but the pitch gets too sharp. Used Hite, Morgan M and Meyer HR pieces with similar results.
Thanks!
