Discreetly placed corks could be the answer to many problems. They don't hurt the clarinet and they could be almost invisible.With daily or hourly difficulties I often assume that pads distorted by heat or moisture are leaking just enough to corrupt play quality. I would love to have a keyless clarinet with Boehm geometry.
I never use any of the side tone holes other than the trill keys as though they were a separate instrument. .The dreadful color of other side tones is equivalent of turning your mouthpiece 30 degrees sideways.To achieve my quality of play the mouthpiece must be perfectly aligned with the center tone holes. Turning the mouthpiece to either side in any way is awful. How then can those side tone holes not corrupt quality of play when combined with center tones ? ( As a folk player I play the clarinet almost as though it were a recorder).
