Re: Affordable C Clarinets Amati vs Forte

It seems to me that we are discussing two different issues.
With your German eefer, is the F#/C# pad and padcup commensurate with the tonehole's size? If they made the tonehole smaller on purpose on the clarinet you just worked on, I imagine they made the pad and cup to fit the smaller tonehole.
This is my point. The fact that on the Forte C clarinet the long C tonehole was half the size of the pad and padcup suggests that the inexplicably small C tonehole was not by design. To state the obvious, the grotesque flatness of the long C also suggests that the smaller tonehole size was not by design. I have never seen a discrepancy like this between tonehole size and pad size. It seems that the pad size is appropriate to the tonehole size (ie large toneholes have large pads, small toneholes have small pads).
