Hi

Are you referring to the pearl inlayed top of the finger button?

If so, I believe that these are glued in. This is what my husband did when his Yamaha tenor horn one came off.

However, it coming out with a pop, and not appearing to fit when you try to push it back in, suggests that the courtois ones, rather than being glued in, are oversized in such a way that they are held in without any glue.

I am not familiar with this. A telephone call to a tech, or repair supplies company (i.e. Windcraft Ltd if you are based in the UK), would be a good idea, if nobody on this forum is able to help.

All the best

Lou
