I am looking into starting some clarinet repair and overhaul as a hobby to keep myself interested and maybe make enough to offset the costs. I am starting my first overhaul with a B and H 2-20. The keys all s

Thank you for your comment. The clarinet has certainly changed, I am convinced, because I was and am very aware of pitch considerations and the clarinet in 1993 was simply too flat and could not be brought

Subj: Re: What is swedging?
Well, some of the need for swedging is caused by wear. Most keys are made of nickel silver which is not too hard, and the rods are usually some kind of steel, which is harder. So, the tube part of the key wears. You can

Swedging (or swaging in some parts of the country) is an old blacksmith's term for "drawing out" the length of a part using "swaging dies". It's derived from "wedging" as in getting a wedgie.
