Hey all
Forgive me if this has been covered, but I'm just returning from practicing and I'm was noticing/completely distracted by the way my octave key (on the neck) does this little hiccup when I play the interval A1 to D2. It does a little jump and then settles into place.
If I move the neck off to the side, the gap between the octave lever and the bottom of the neck increases to the point where the little jump stops.
Q1: can this affect the sound
Q2: if it does, can I fix it just by sanding down the cork on the octave lever (where the lever contacts the bottom of the octave arm), or is this more complicated?
Thanks for reading
