so i've taken apart sax's (never put them back together), but i've never had to do major repair on the keys.

I have a beater sax that I use for marching band and I have a warranty on it, but that is my last resort seeing as the shop is in NYC.

I was marching with it, and i guess i dropped it or something and it developed a leak. It is the whole above the F key (right index finger). As shown in this beautiful diagram below!

v LEAK!!
0 F E D

The entire pad isn't even sitting on the whole, it's like a centimeter above it, and i need a way of adjusting that key back into alignment without messing any of the other keys up.

I'll have pics posted tonight

p.s. it's a selmer bundy II
