Re: Why Won't My Clarinet Speak?

I'm going to go out on a limb and guess that the poster does not have $30 worth of feeler guage nor how to find the quadrant of the pad that is not sealing properly.

I appreciate do-it-yourselfers. We all start out that way and progress over time. But you can't expect to be able to do it all when you just learned (via Youtube) how to put a clarinet together.

And yes, there probably are other issues besides poorly installed pads involved as well. That is why adding seventeen more problems is really bad place to start. Someone who plays clarinet already can at least assess the situation (which probably requires a lot of 'undoing').
