Lesson Learned - 4/23/13

Clicking Forked Bb on saxophone? Oil or grease the Bb key pivot screws if it has them, as well as the regulation screws on the F# key. I've found that every time, that takes care of the clicking. That's after I've checked to make sure all the pivot screws are tight, that none of the rollers are getting some sort of sympathetic vibrations (by oiling them, too), and that the regulation screws aren't wobbling in their holes. If they are, I can usually get them to tighten up by squishing the threads on them a little bit with a pair of pliers. But after checking all those things, if there's still clicking, oiling the pivot screws and regulation screws always takes care of the problem.
