Subj: [kl] key problem
Date: Wed, 10 Feb 1999 20:15:01 -0500

Today in rehearsal a problem happened with my E11 in the lower joint. I
will try to explain it to see if any of you know what it may be since
myself and my band director could not figure out what happened.

The right-hand pinky key that plays E and B somehow was much too high
above the spatula mechanism that lowers the F/C key when F#/C# or E/B is
played. The only thing we could see that could be the problem is that
there was not enough cork between the left-hand lever and the mechanism
which causes the right hand keys to be pressed when activating the
lever. However, before this happened there was a bit of space between
the lever and this mechanism so I don't think it is that. There is
enough cork between the lever and the outside of the clarinet. The
spring all the way at the bottom of the clarinet is tensioned properly.

Any ideas?

Hope that someone understands the problem, it's probably something very
simple that we overlooked it or something quite complicated that neither
of us can repair ourselves. Or possibly quite simple but also that we
can't repair ourselves..........

Mark
