Re: Dreaded Chirps - Troubleshooting

Yes, it could be a slight leak that effects one register more than another with certian reeds but it could also just be a matter of reed balancing. With some reeds, even if the reed is balanced, it may still chirp, we call it having a birdie in the reed, it's because of uneven grain in the wood that you can't balance. You should have your clarinet checked anyway, it's always a good idea. Make sure the throat tone A key is not opening a tiny bit because the screw is just a tiny bit to far down. It's always good to have just a smigen of a space between the A and G# key,
