Re: Air Leak

I had the same problem with my new clarinet recently. There was a sound like air rushing out of the tone hole (as well as the sound of the note) when I played certain notes. Trills to and from the affected notes were awful, hearing that airy sound on and off and on and off etc. It was on the Chalumeau C#, Side Eb and forked B natural, but much much worse on the C#. I took it back to the dealer under warranty, and they fixed it by making the keys open up a bit more. This took care of the problem for me, but I have noticed that it tends to come back a little (not nearly as bad as it was) when I try to play a reed that's too hard for me.
