 Metal clarinet chalmeau
Author: BobD

I have recently restored a Noblet metal Bb clarinet to playing condition. In order to get the lower chalmeau notes to respond properly I've had to resort to a #2 reed. I've tried various mps but with any reed stronger than #2 the lower chalmeau notes "want" to overblow to a higher register. Is this a common metal clarinet way of acting? All pads are new and although two could seat tighter (with spring changes) most seat reasonably tight.
At this point I'm wondering if metal clarinets act more like saxophones than wood and plastic horns.
