Subj: Re: [kl] Clunky keys??

The infinite isn't a student model clarinet. It is a professional level
clarinet and was the model before the Concerto (which I have in A) I
have had a proper technician fix it.

It is not the keys clunking against other keys, rather the action of
using it for want of a better way of describing it.
