Re: Weird Clarinet sound middle e and f

One other obvious question: Is your lower joint's uppermost padded key [just above the three rings of the right hand] sealing fully?

If those "non-fingered" padded keys fail to complete a nice hard air-tight seal, then they can drive you nuts.

[This is true on all woodwinds, and it especially drives the oboists nuts - everything you can feel with your fingers seems nice and tight, but there are other hidden "non-fingered" pads which are leaking like crazy.]

jus sayin
