 Re: Throat A/G# and "Lost Motion"

Yamaha do put a piece of plastic on the throat A key to silence the click against the adjusting screw, but others (eg. Buffet) use a nylon adjusting screw instead. Just be sure you use the correct size screwdriver when making the adjustment so you don't knacker up the screw head (and this also applies to steel screws too!).

But when it's a steel adjusting screw without a nylon tip, you'll always need some sort of silencing material under it. If there's not much clearance or a recess beneath the screw, file a flat on the key arm into which you can stick a bit of silencing material. If it's an old clarinet withput an adjusting screw, then use a thick piece of leather stuck to the underside of the throat G# cup arm arch, but obviously trimmed to leave a bit of play. If the keys are unplated, then hard solder on an adjusting screw pip made from nickel silver, thread it and fit an adjusting screw and filing a recess in the A key.
