Hi, I’ve just brought a 64xxx MK VI alto, and it’s previous owner has set it’s key heights to roughly half what they are on my Reference 54 alto. Having owned a bunch of MK VI tenors, and played around with different set ups on them, I am convinced that I like the tone/response etc of keys set higher off the body. After play testing this alto, I feel it is definitely under-vented!
I’ve searched the forum (admittedly on an iPhone not a desktop) and I can only find suggestions for MK VI tenor key heights. Does anyone have either some measurements that work well for them on a MK VI alto, or some measurements they took from an untouched original VI? I’m going to have them set a lot higher than they are, and maybe this will require some experimentation, but if anyone has some numbers to use as a guideline that would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Mike
