Re: Help with Ridenour 147 clarinet

Stiffer springs are not necessarily a good thing. For me, lightest possible (opens the key if normally open, holds it closed at ffff if normally closed) is preferred. Cork thickness may be used to adjust intonation of that note, so for your clarinet, thicker may be needed. Also, I find minimizing key travel (and uniform height with adjacent keys) desirable, so a thicker cork may be good.

Check out relative pitch (clarinet 'in tune with itself') of each note (without 'lipping up' or 'lipping down') over the entire range and see what you get.
