Hi Barney,
So when you move from F# to left-hand B4, the B4 doesn’t speak? And you’re playing the B4 with just the left pinky and not the right pinky as well?
If that’s the case: the crow’s foot (or the crow’s foot felt/pad) needs to be adjusted. This is one of the things that most often goes out of alignment on a clarinet.
Hands cramping? I would think that you’re squeezing the clarinet too hard with your fingertips? This can be quite involuntary and, counter-intuitively, the harder you squeeze the worse fingertips usually cover the holes.
Does all of that make sense?
