Re: Length of speaker tube

That's exactly what I did - fitted the speaker tube so there's less than there originally was protruding into the bore/more of it on the outside and put a gentle bend in the speaker key arm so the pad cup sits parallel instead of at a wonky angle and the pad will have to sit unevenly, even if it is a domed or bevelled cork pad.

That's easier done with older Buffet A clarinets with the completely smooth sided speaker tubes (cut some shallow grooves around them to help them stay in place once shellacked in), or make and fit a spacer (wood or metal) onto the more recent stove pipe hat-shaped/flanged speaker tubes to fill in the gap.
