Re: HELP repairing clarinet spring

Luckily the spring has broken leaving a stub which will make its removal much easier compared to having a spring break flush with the pillar - I had one of those come to me the other day, but managed to push the broken end out with a punch. Steel springs don't usually break flush with the pillars, but that doesn't always mean they won't.

The reason you will have to remove so many keys is not just to gain better access to the pillar in question, but some keys won't be able to be removed without causing damage unless you remove others to reduce the risk of harm, so the side and trill keys will have to be removed in order not to bend the linkage arm on the LH1 ring key.
