Re: Bridge key - corking/adjustment question

I have seen the adjusting screw on the bridge key. I have mixed feelings about it. First, I think it would need to be made of nylon or have a nylon insert so as to glide and not hang up. Secondly, perhaps instead of a slot a hex head would be better. It couldn't be adjusted "on the spot" as many people don't carry Allen wrenches with them. Also, it would be harder to get to unless the trill keys were taken off. Finally, charge them $$$$ when they mess with it and the clarinet won't play anything below C!!

I don't use leather on the bridge key or F# arm (upper joint). I've seen it tear and hang up too often, especially on the F#. I either use the cork laminate or use the sheet teflon. On the lower joint I put ultra-suede underneath so when the key hits the body it isn't as noisey.
