 Throat G# and A key adjustments?
Author: StevenWayne

I'm learning how to regulate a clarinet and doing fair but the throat G# and A keys might be giving me some problems. I understand the screw adjustment, where the A key has a tiny bit of free travel before lifting the G# key. What I have a question about is the amount of drag pressure when you're testing the keys with the cigarette paper. The pressure is supposed to be equal for both keys, but I'm having trouble achieving this. And the pressure on the pads doesn't seem to be enough. This seems to be the case on several I've rebuilt.

Do I need more spring tension? The pads are new and seated. Tone holes are clean.

Thanks a lot.
