Hi, Gordon........ you had me worried with your reply re lights.
So much that I decided to check last night on the upper joint of my clarinet. The instrument plays so well that I had no reason to check it out before, but there it was........ a bright thin slit of light on one side of the Eb pad (the one operated by the middle finger of the LH).
My hi-tech kit consists of a 3v torch bulb connected to a power supply or battery and since it is a concentrated source it can be easily placed to give the best results. Working in a dark environment also helps. The slight translucency of the pads is no problem.
This tone hole is as small and deep as there is on a clarinet, but it works fine........ and no filling the clarinet with water!
Thanks, Gordon for giving me another job to while away the long dark winter nights (here)................ H&P
