When my R13 was relatively new (under a year--late 80s ), one of the
"plastic things" broke and after that it would not work, either. The horn's
keys were badly out of adjustment so I shipped the horn to Weiner Music.
They did a fine adjustment, replaced both of the ball joint pins (at that time
they were nylon), and sent back a couple more pins --just in case! They
are to prevent key noise and make fingering easier. I'd find a repair
person close to you to see if the cigarette paper really is cigarette paper.
I'm pretty sure you'd be better off with something more solid.

A while back... I took my clarinet apart (all the keys off) and cleaned it
etc... and I noticed at the bottom of the C# and B keys (F# and E) these
nasty oily plastic things were wedged in. I just yanked them out and
wondered what kind of moron did that.... my clarinet didnt work after that. I
sent it to be repaired and noticed cigarette paper now replaced the plastic.
What was that and why is it there? thanks Tom (Buffet R13 clarinet)
