can anyone say whether the type of pads used will effect whether you
experience "gurgling"? I had my c#/g# pad (not sure of the convention here,
but I'm sure you'll work it out) changed to cork after I had trouble with
the pad swelling up with water and coming off (or rather, floating) in the
middle of a pit performance. Since then I haven't really had so much
trouble with gurgling with this key

This has been my experience also. Some clarinetists go as far as to have
the entire upper joint done in cork. I personally would not do this, but
for the c#/g# key, it works quite well.
