Re: unwanted gliss between clarion E-G or F-G

Ken just about covered it. I'd put my money of the pad sticking or the rod being too tight so the pad does not come up fast enough but "slides" up causing the gliss. The only other possibility, a long shot though, is that you're glissing in your throat without realizing it as you voice up. I'd bet it's the pad or rods sticking. Loosen the rod a touch and put oil in the key joints and see if that works. Also, take off the lower key that's "sticking" and clean the pad if the other doesn't work. There can even be something on the hole that makes the pad stick so you would need to clean that too. ESP http://eddiesclarinet.com
