Re: Throat B and C suddenly don't work!

Ok , so the answer appears to be, as suggested :

claribass :"The pad under the A key (i.e. the pad above the G tone hole) needs to be closed for C6. It's closed by the thumb. On a plateau clarinet it is separated from the first finger key (a ring on a regular clarinet) so they both don't close for F/C."

The tone hole under the A4 key, just above the G4 LH index finger hole appears to close but not seal. It is a complex mechanisn that is activated by the LH thumb. Pressing on that pad and playing C6 gives a solid C6 note with no overtone parasites (they are present from G5 but can be eliminated by the player although once at C6 this becomes too difficult and the note drops out completely), removing pressure and the note can not sound anymore. Bb5 and Db aren't great but sound and are improved by pressure on the guilty pad.

So it will go in for a repair as this looks to be a delicate situation.
