Question for the clarinet technicians

Author: sdr

I have an R13 Greenline with very nice intonation but one particularly annoying habit -- the altissimo D (D6) shrieks out brighter and louder than every other note on the horn. I try hard to rein it in by backing off whenever I play it, but I have considerable difficulty keeping it under control. Is this fixable? Is there some magic adjustment to pad or key or tone hole or bore that could bring this note's intensity in line with all the others?

And while we're on the subject of unruly notes, my F4 is stuffy -- just the opposite of my D6 problem. Any suggestions for this one?

Thanks.
