krawfish3x,

I just sent you a personal email with a possible emergency quick fix without adjusting the crow's foot.

Please check you email.

The BEST link, GBK, TKS, I'll put a post on it re: Dan's crows-foot post to try to keep "Problems" on the current BB for a while. Don

Thanx, Mark, Don

One thing for sure, almost every clarinet that comes in for servicing leaks to some extent here, and the solution is almost NEVER anything to do with linkages and corks. It is to do with the 'back' (nearest the pivot) of the pads(s) closing before the 'front'.
