Re: Bass Clarinet repair help

I have the same bass clarinet, and that key that always seems to go out of adjustment for me as well. By 'always,' I mean once every couple of months. I have had the same problem resulting in the same problem when playing middle B.

Even more commonly, though, that key (G/D right ring finger key) ends up with a significant clicking noise. For ex. when moving from low A to low G. Sometimes I can fix it by experimenting with the alignment/bridge between the top & bottom joints, but sometimes I have to adjust the key's screw. (the allen-wrench screw) I've heard of people using blue Loc-Tite to keep screws from moving on their own. Would it be smart to use it here?

I've only used loc-tite on my thumb-rest screws, so I don't really know if it's used IN keywork. Thanks everyone
