27:23 All the notes going up (from open g). I forget to add this to the video but my middle A key does not open far enough so I wedged a small piece of cardboard between the mechanism that controls it so that it opens more. My low c# key doesn't open far enough too so I gently pull the key with my right hand slightly when fingering it to vent it more. If you can, get your contra looked over by a repair tech. Also if your throat Bb is very out of tune, experiment with placing other fingers from your left and right hand down to get it in tune.
