Subj: [kl] Leaky clarinet?
Date: Mon, 16 May 2005 20:38:12 -0400

Hello everyone!
I'm hoping someone can give me some advice. I have a
cheap resonite clarinet I bought on EBay for $50
("Concert" brand). It doesn't have great sound, but
it's been fine for me to teach myself on. The problem
is, recently when I play the bottom few notes in the
chalumeau register (G and below), it responds as if
the thumb key was pressed, and I get the higher note.
This doesn't happen every time, but more often than
not I get the 12th. I think the clarinet's leaking,
but I can't tell from where - does anyone have a
thought as to why this is happening?
