Thanks all. Sry I couldn't reply early, was in travel.

Thank you Tony and BartHx. Close examination did help. The cause was my tightening of the LH F/C lever screw. Earlier, I found the lever was loose and had a bit of gap(of about 1mm) and cold feel this when pushed or pulled the lever up or down (not pressed up or down). I tightened it, which caused the lever and the key to get stuck when pressed. So, l loosened it to it's earlier state and all fine.

Can you please say is this the case with all clarinet, that the LH F/C lever has to be comparatively loose than other levers?

Thanks fskelly, I too wish God repair us all!

Thanks Paul, to my little knowledge woodwind repair is not very prominent here, so finding another tech is doubtful.

Thank you Paul Aviles for your detailed description. The moral learnt from this is Knowing your instrument, physically and technically, ( to keep it from repair and fine tune) is as necessary as knowing your scales!
