> *** vytas - were you saying that all big bore clarinets must be fitted with stepped pads for adequate venting? you mentioned the older selmers - what about boosey and hawkes or the larger leblancs? i have a couple of the boosey's that need repadding so i am very interested in your answer. ***<

No, Not exactly. I said that only big bore instruments like Selmer CT requires only one stepped pad on the UJ (thrill Eb/Bb) and usually four pads on the LJ. In the earlier thread I've mentioned that I DO NOT use stepped pads for any instrument AT ALL. For any big bore instrument (for the above mentioned keys) I use slightly larger leather pad than the size of the inner diameter of the cup. In these circumstances the larger pad acts the same way as any stepped bladder pad. Remember that big bore instruments are not build to the same specification so there is no strict rules here. For example N-series Selmer CT have slightly different size tone holes than lets say Q-series CT. The later one has lager tone holes and would require treatment as I described above (or stepped pad)

Chris pretty much answered your question. His answer basically supports what I was saying about stepped bladder pads all along.
