Jennifer,

Thanks for the help, as again, it happens mostly in the upper register but
once in a while in the low, to the lowest notes. Never had this problem
before.

No, it is not like a beginers sqeak, as it is not real loud, as maybe I
might be the only one to hear it. Like it internal, as that is probably not
a good way of describing it.

The reed is not chipped as that is a good suggestion, as again, when I am
done, it goes into the plastic reed container very carefully and I change
the reed once a week.

This is a 4 Mitchell Lurie.

I do not know of anyone in my area who plays, but the repair place has a
professional clarinetist who works on the instruments. So far today, I
have played twice and no sqeaks since soaking the whole reed. Weird. If
it comes back, I will take it to the shop, as again, I just had them look it
over, 6 pads replaced.

Thanks!

Mike
