Me or the Clarinet

Author: mmatisoff

Hello,

When I picked up my Leblanc Opus from the repair shop a month back, it still hadn't been fixed completely. They had to make additional adjustments, which they did while I waited. For the most part, it played and sounded much better. Yet, it still wasn't playing 100%. When I try playing F, F#, G, and G# in the second register, it takes a lot of air flow to play the notes (if they come out at all). I don't have any problems on the other notes. I can even reach high A with no problems.

How can I tell if I'm the problem is with me or the clarinet? Before I ship it off to a new shop, I want to make sure that I'm not the problem.

I've had problems with my current shop in the past. They never quite get it right the first time. They usually fix the problems the 2nd or 3rd time around.

Tx
