Re: Student suddenly can't play?

Just guessing, but since the student can play below the throat tone Bb and the trouble begins with adding the register key, I would take a look at what happens with the left hand when doing that. It sounds likely to me that Ben's thought about fingers uncovering holes or touching another key could certainly be what is happening. Watch what the thumb does and the first finger especially. The new clarinet might be different enough to cause this problem. The student's old clarinet might have been more forgiving.
