Thanks Peter for your advice.
Yes I have the Acton vent on both the Bb and the A. The former is a 1973 model and the latter a 1967 so a type 2 and a type 1 vent respectively.
You make a good point about the f sharp key which has alerted me to the fact that the vent might need adjusting as the cork is past it best. So my top Eb may be suffering ( or am I just a bad workman blaming my tools? ;-) )
I tried the A and that seems much more subtle and I am fortunate in that they feel so similar that I hardly notice the difference in resistance when changing from one to the other. I also use the same mouthpiece and barrel.
I am going on a one day workshop for clarinet maintenance in early September so will take my clarinets with me and will hopefully sort them out then. Your point about the transition from the Eb to the Ab is also very useful and after I had tested the high Eb with F sharp key on my A clarinet I tried thinking differently and the transition then seemed even smoother and the pitch/timbre of the notes better.

Kindest regards

Paula
