 Re: Alto clarinet pad options

Pretty much just go as high as you can go. It's virtually impossible to make the pads too high unless you start cutting metal and bending keys in my experience. Malernes need all the help they can get.

With Malerne alto clarinets, I also find that drilling out the register tube to 7/64" will greatly improve the clarion register without sacrificing the intonation. Also don't forget to level the toneholes, I've had problems with the toneholes on both wood and hard rubber instruments.

Good luck!
