Re: Impossible C and B and top to bottom delay

Checking pads with cigarette paper, or equivalent, sometimes reveals a leak that plug and blow (suck) does not. When a note is played, the resonance sets up a standing wave within the clarinet tube. The wave has higher and lower pressure nodes along its path. Thus, different notes will push on different pads and they can leak at different times.

I have a LeBlanc that did this. Tech said it didn't leak, but as I played it I could tell that it did leak. The side 'trill keys' were not perfect. I found this by pushing hard on the pad/key cup as I played the squeaking note.
