Re: contra-alto clarion register

Could be crud in the register key tube. Try cleaning it out with a pipe cleaner (but just make sure it's the all-soft kind, not the kind with little metal bristles in it). Could also be that some previous user has been swabbing out with one of those big fluffy "pad saver" thingies, and has left fluff residue caught on the tube or on a tone hole edge. Check inside the neck, too: Maybe the previous user didn't swab in there at all. The chalumeau register is much more forgiving of these sorts of problems, so when the whole clarino goes wonky, dirt is my top suspect as the culprit.
