 Register bumps up but grunts on the way down
Author: Garth Libre

When I practice nudging the register key, the pitch instantly bumps up from a low E to a clarion B for example. This is the case for all the low chalameau up to the appropriate clarion note. However, when I release the register key, the note has a momentary grunt before it drops down. If I release the stream of air somewhat just at the moment I release the register key, the note drops down without a grunt, a delay or any problem at all. I tried relaxing my embouchure but the grunt remains. Of course, if I lightly tongue the note, this interrupts the flow of air and once again the note drops down effortlessly. Can this be normal? It seems the note should drop down as easily as it bumps up.
