 Tricky key binding problem
Author: Bob

I thought I'd pass along this personal experience. Trying out a new used clarinet I kept getting "squeaking" in the lower register notes. After repadding a few keys and a number of other unsuccessful attempts I finally noticed that if the alignment of the top and bottom sections was not "just right" the F key (left pinky) would depress the C# key (also left pinky)just enough to open it slightly. Actually the "just right" alignment to prevent this binding put the top and bottom sections slightly out of alignment. Sometimes the left pinky C# key is intentionally bent downward a little for better finger clearance and this one probably was. I imagine that experienced technicians have encountered this many times.
