Re: Why Won't My Clarinet Speak?

Author: abrogard  Date:   2019-06-25 05:46 Thanks, Philip, I concentrated on leak testing instead of just looking. Tried light and didn't get far. Then tried blowing through the stopped up joints and was lucky enough to have a leak that directed air in a direction I could feel on my hand as it held the thing. F# trill key. Wasn't seated properly. I did that. I remember. Some glue seeped out from under the pad and I wiped it away and doubtless dislodged the pad at the same time. So I did it again more carefully and now she's lovely... talks to me any time. An education, too, to see just what one little leak high up on the top joint can do to the whole machine.
