That is a problem that I've never had with any of mine or those by others that I've played. I have to wonder if the brass bar that the "E" lock fastens into might be a little thin and flexing a bit. I usually use 1/4" thick brass on mine and the "E" locks tight and responds just like an open "E" on a bass without an extension. Just a thought.
