A word from the wise.
Whenever I use my Conn 8D, I am always careful to check on the screw that keeps the thumb lever in place. There is a design flaw with this little screw – it regularly comes loose and if I don’t check on it, it gets dangerously close to falling off.
Not too long ago, it finally happened – the screw fell off and I cannot find it. Fortunately, the tension of the string still holds the thumb lever in place but I am annoyed.
With my Yamaha this is not a problem. The thumb screw is attached in a manner where it cannot fall off. While this flaw with the 8D thumb screw is a little thing, it very disappointing that Conn has not bothered to address this.
