I have finished the "new and improved" version that won't come as a shock to those who try to make one.

At least with my rigid LED leak light, I can usually check the low C with the light either from the body side or the bell side, all the way down. I usually use the bell side for low C since it's better and for a first check, I check all pads anyway so check the C with the other lower keys. There's more than enough light this way since the bulb is thin enough to get there. It's also thin enough that it's often possible to put it through the low C# tone hole (with C# key on) or maybe low B sometimes, and it gets a better angle for low C (though it's usually unnecessary). It's not hot so there's no problem of it touching the pads.Still, it would be very useful to have a light that bends to properly check the low C tone hole that is close to the center of the bow. I'm still looking for a better quality LED strip that bends for that application.
