Received it a couple of days ago and the 4 draw has a strange fluttering or gurgling sound.  Do I need to return it?   Seems fine with the slide pushed in.  

 

Thanks

Did you take it apart? It's prob just a prob with a reed or windsaver. Every hole is responsible for 4 reeds (blow draw x2 when the button is pushed in).

Good assessment Taylor.  I

Good assessment Taylor. 

I recommend removing the coverplates to examine the outside wind savers, then shoot a flashlight into the holes and check to see if the interior windsavers are laying flat.
