Could be...One tiny leak in any of these areas, mainly in the upper register, throws off everything. Added if the leak you are referring to doesn't happen all of the time. A sealed bass clarinet is a dream to play. One tiny leak can often wish for playing a different instrument. Same with saxophones. So few good techs in Los Angeles. Plus they are overbooked and overrated. Sometimes the horns play worse after an expensive service. This is so frustrating. Keep after it and you may have to ship your horn off to a different location. Avoid UPS. Send Fed-EX. UPS from experience is often hard of boxes. But other times they are fine. Maybe they are all the same. I don't know. Just wrap the horn really well in the case if you send it off. Use a lot of foam and bubble wrap.

Maybe someone can give you some good leads to the very best repairmen, if the horn still doesn't perform. I've been in your shoes with saxophones.
