Re: Alto clarinets

I've played alto for a long time (but not particulalrly well!). As well as leaks and pad clearances, the speaker mechanism can make all sorts of notes sound dodgy. My main suggestion is to try lots of different brands and strengths of reeds - not just alto clarinet reeds, but alto sax reeds too. I find the instrument to be extremely fussy, and a reed that plays well one week may be rubbish the next and fine the week afterwards...
