Subj: Re: [kl] Keeping screws in place

Happened to me in the middle of a concert. Finger tighten the screw
(using a small flat-head screwdriver), then keep an eye on it. Check it every
week or so. Those screws work themselves out frequently, so paying
attention is probably the best route. I'd think that a reputable repair shop would
be happy to sell a couple of replacements to keep in your case. I haven't
had to do that, but will if I have the same problem again.

While practicing yesterday, the left hand rings on my clarinet suddenly
popped
out towards me; the screw at the bottom came out! Luckily, the rug in the
room
is beige-colored so I found the screw easily and put the world back
together.
This has happened a couple times to me (as well as to the principal
clarinetist
in orchestra warming up for a concert earlier this year. He couldn't find
the
screw right away so he borrowed the same screw from his A clarinet since
we
didn't need our A's; thankfully, he found the screw afterwards ).

Any tips for keeping these screws in place? I've heard clear nail polish
works;
is that recommended? Any other suggestions?

Thanks!
