 One last moan.

Just to finish, why do my bottom keys i.e. the keys on the lower joint of my B-flat clarinet (or Klarinet), always come loose so easily. Is it because they are just made out of a material that is unbelievably weak, or am I too hard on the lower keys? I leave this one to the thinkers.
Bye!

The bottom keys are much longer than the top ones as they have to reach down to those low pads. This gives extra leverage, so your massively developed pinkies are easily able to bend the metal. Try using slightly less force.
