Re: Clarinet key re-assembly order?

I agree with Clarnibass, that following mechanical logic is far better than following a recipe. Following recipes in instrument repair is a sure road to substandard result. So often, a recipe requires a deviation, and the person who follows recipes is unlikely to have the mindset to recognise those occasions.

But one thing can be a slow lesson to learn if it is not explained. It was mentioned by Chris:

"Make sure when fitting the RH F#/C# key and Ab/Eb key you engage the spring in the cradle just as the key goes into position, then fit the screw afterwards so you don't lose the spring tension."

To be more specific, before fitting the screw, displace the key in the direction of the spring tip before you hook the spring into its cradle.
