Does anyone raise middle G# to A#?

Instruments, mechanical issues, copedents, techniques, etc.

I have had the G#-A# raise for some years.

Initially, I had it adjacent to my A pedal: used together, it put me in F#. I also think of it as a #11th.

Now U have it on LKV: it's even easier to use.

(After countless years of lowering Bs on RKL, I am now using my P4 - 'Day' - for this purpose. It catches me out occasionally, but I'm already miles better at quick half-pedaling the A. The LKV raising the 6th gives me that same note, of course: I find myself using LKV in that capacity, too.)
