I very much like my Prest.A, with a couple of caveats: first, it
undertoned a lot at first on the left hand notes above the staff (G3 to
C3), which tendency has eased up with playing. Second, the added left
hand alternate lever for the Ab/Eb little finger key seems to have caused
an added "bounce" to the left hand F#/C# lever, which others have also
noted. Check the klarinet archives for Steve Prescott's excellent
technical pointers on how to fix this; it's fantastic that an expert
repair artist is willing to share some of his time and knowledge!
