Re: crows foot alignment

There is another problem that can occur here and that is if you start bending keys and changing pad height, you could end up with another problem even after you get the two pads in sync. If the pads are too close to the tone hole, the sound can get stuffy. Too far and the intonation can become sharp.

I almost sold off my best clarinet, a Leblanc L200, some years ago when I could not figure our why the C was so stuffy. My tech made a couple of quick adjustments and the sound was astounding.

The logic of what has to be done with the crow's foot and the armatures is best left to the tech. There are a few places where the logic gets a little convoluted for an amateur to follow.
