I need the help of some eefer acousticians. I have a Buffet RC eefer
which is wonderfully in tune, etc. except for the high c# (above the
staff). This note is unbearably stuffy. In order to get the note, I
have to blow twice as hard and 'goose it' a la bass clarinet high
range.
Fred - this problem is not endemic to eefers. I can only think of two
things: 1. Make sure the pad on the Ab/Eb key is not blowing open. 2. Check that
the pad on the F/C is open enough. Other than that, this has me perplexed.
