The key for the left thumb on that old Buffet opens the F# key, not the E-flat key. I have a high pitch Buffet with exactly the same keywork at the one...
Interesting to read about your extension to the low C# key Simon. Coincidentally, I have just had something similar fitted to my Buffet. Having heard about the...
