The E/B pad is relatively tightly closed with the either E/B lever, whilst the C pad does not close completely as I can pull a tissue paper out without it tearing.
The problem is with both right and left keys so it is not the keys, but must be the pad. I had noticed the problem a few weeks ago but it now much worse, and I thought I had lost my technique.
I was also advised that my clarinet should be serviced every two years, but it would have been more like eighteen months afterrwards when the problem first began. Does a pad wear out so quicxkly?
PS
One one hand it's nice to know the problem is my instrument, and not my embouchure.
I know a poor workman blames his tools, but a good workman should know when the tool needs attention!!!
