Hi, particularly Arnoldstang and Autumnsilence,
Your comments reminded me of the time when in the middle of a public (thankfully casual and mostly friends) performance, my entire chalumeau register disappeared!
Yip, the screw had wandered round and the G# was acting as a vent. I have never been so glad to be able to think "on the hoof" about this kind of thing. A quick flick of a fingernail, an apologetic explanation to the assembly and off we went.
I now ALWAYS check this screw before playing anywhere, and feel that all beginners should be made aware of this possible catastrophe.
All the best....... H&P
