Help With Buzz/Rattle

[brorat]

My Sirius 56 (C Maj) has an issue on the #5 hole, blow.  I've cleaned the instrument carefully.  I've cleaned the windsavers, too.  I've "plinked" each reed to make sure nothing foreign is stuck in the reed slot.  Still, on that note, as the note trails off, I have a sort of buzzing/rattle sound.  I'm attaching a short clip of what it sounds like. 

If someone recognizes this sound and can tell me how to fix it, I would appreciate the advice very much.

The rattle is coming from the wind saver. It closes too fast, and is hitting the reed has it finishes vibrating. Have a spare wind saver handy; try clipping of a tine amount from the top layer. I that doesn't work, replace the wind saver.

Thanks Tom. Kinda thought that, but wasn’t sure. I do have a spare windsaver, so no harm done in trimming the existing to see results. I’ll wait to gain consensus. 😱😱

Good idea!

 I heard the same thing, but I am a newbee!!!
     I was going to suggest having someone video the offending reed if possible with the covers off (cell phones work great for this), then play it back in slow motion to see what is happening. This is something we use in troubleshooting our machines when the problems are difficult to locate.

OK, I need some more advice.

I trimmed a bit of the top portion of the blow windsaver that seemed to be the problem.  After trimming, I played the note and the "buzz" was still there.  At that point, I decided to remove and replace the windsaver.  When I removed it and cleaned up the residual glue, I decided to play the note with the windsaver OFF just to see what happened.  The buzz, while a bit better, is still there!

I THINK the problem is with the windsaver on the adjacent draw note.  That windsaver will be on the inside of the reed plate.  I have now replaced the windsaver on the blow note, and am letting the glue dry.

Before I take off the reed plate to access the draw windsaver to try trimming and/or replacing it, I'd like some opinions as to whether that's the next logical thing to try.

Thanks in advance!

The reed may be misaligned and hitting the edge of the reed slot. If that ain't it and it still does it with the covers off, the reed tip may be coming in contact with the cover, or maybe bottom of the reed slot?  (if any of that "hitting the coverplate or bottom of the reed slot" stuff happens, it usually means an extra flimsy reed that wantsta break.

Gary,
I THINK I just messaged you with some questions!  It said the message was sent, but I don't see it under Sent Messages.  Please let me know if you got it.
Thanks!
