Re: Clarinet is extremely resistant

You definitely have a hardware problem. If you're lucky, it's that the adjusting screw on the throat A key is screwed down too far, causing the Ab pad to rise slightly off the hole. It could be a crack in the barrel or upper joint or a problem with the mouthpiece. Other less likely causes could be a leak around the register tube or thumb tube.

Try a different mouthpiece on your clarinet, and try your mouthpiece on a different clarinet.
