Responding to fuzzy:

I bought this instrument. The seller is Tom ridenour so yes, i bought it directly from him.

I take back my claim

"Also, when I put together the upper and lower joint together, It feels like i'm breaking the instrument. When i twist it together, although i'm not touching any metal while putting it together, I feel a bump and overall, putting all the clarinet is unpleasant because the hard rubber is rough/not glossy smooth so the instrument feels dry. "

I applied cork grease and set my instrument over night. The problem was the new cork. It make the instrument feel unpleasant to put together. Although it doesn't feel like putting a plstic clarinet, it feels much closer to it and it doesn't feel like i'm breaking anything.

My problem with the inconsistency of the instrument is much better now. I played for 4 hours ( 1 hour intervals) last 2 days and I've gotten used to the instrument. I realized my throat tones are VERY SHARP and I really need to work on those. The buzzing/squeaking in the upper register B-F# has gone away after the 2-3 hour of playing and it's staying that way. Hopefully, if I play for another week or so, the instrument will " break in" and become functional.

I still hold my claim about the bad keys.
