Re: Clarinet posts, how installed?

Another fix, providing the threads are OK, is to unscrew the post a couple of turns, push pumice powder under the base of the post, screw the post back, and remove all remaining powder.

Some posts are molded into plastic, and often quite poorly.

Some posts have an unthreaded stud into the timber, and an associated 'tab' and wood-screw to secure the post.

If a post is loose, and a spring is mounted to it, then that spring will tend to turn the post slightly, and that may cause the key to jam somewhat against the post.

Loose posts interfere seriously with the accuracy and reliability of linkages between keys.
