Re: Register key opening

Is it the Buffet Festival that has a higher (by a couple of mm) register vent? That is, it's closer to the barrel ... interesting ... a design mistake?

Ditto on the cork pads ... I have my register vent pad, the LH C#/G# pad and the little pad under the throat A key beveled on my R13. Cork is great if you have a clarinet with clean tone holes.

It seems that the vent pad height is a compromise between clarity on the throat B-flat (and to some extent the bell B) and undertones on the clarion A. I use the throat A on the bell B to decrease the stuffiness ...
