The Clarinet BBoard

Just bought a used R13 - Need some assistance

Author: moolatte  Date:   2011-05-03 00:46 I've been test-driving a Buffet-Crampon R13 clarinet for over a year now due to the generosity of a former clarinet student at my high school. She is unable to continue clarinet, so she let me borrow her instrument. I finally bought it from her for a REALLY good price. hehe Some things I've noticed with the instrument are some airy notes. The 'C' below the staff is kind of airy, as well as 'B' in the middle of the staff are airy. However, the notes, with/without the register key respectively, are not airy. How would I go about fixing them? My bell is cracked from something dumb I did, but the low 'E' isn't airy, and I've got the cracked sealed up with some thinly-applied superglue. I also don't believe the crack leaks. Help? And she's not seen her clarinet, nor does she know about any of these odd notes, so that's not why she sold it to me so cheap. It's a good instrument though.
