Yesterday I pulled the fallboard on a "B" in the rehearsal hall and found a cookie . . . .  4" dia, still in its Subway wrapper.

List,

 

The problem: There were a couple of notes that, when played really hard, would not speak at all (no repeated playing of the note involved).  Other than that, these notes work just fine.  This was something I had never seen before, so it took a few seconds longer than usual to figure out what was going wrong.  Any ideas about what it was?

 

Have a great weekend,

 

Alan Eder
