Rattling sound in the lowest holes of Lucky13 Bb

Hi. I received an Easttop Lucky13 Bb yesterday (in Richter tuning).

When I draw or blow through one of the first two holes, there is a rattling sound. It's especially noticeable when the note stops sounding. I removed the cover plates to check if it's because of the reeds hitting the cover plates, but the sound is still there. So I would guess that this is the sound of a reed hitting the valve. How do I fix this?

hi phi2,
Did you try checking Inspect the Reed and Valve? Please ensure that there are no foreign objects, dust, or debris on the reed or valve that might be causing the rattling sound. Check for any visible damage to the reed or valve. If you notice any bending or warping, it may need adjustment.

I didn't hear anything bad there... Feel free to remove the two outside valves if you wish, though you might find the low draw reeds more 'airy'.
