For the best possible response in the LH F/C action the actuating arm should be as nearly parallel as possible to the rear surface of the F/C key, and the gap between them as small as possible.
To achieve this it is sometimes necessary to add a very hard material to the mechanism, I often soldered a very thin brass shim to either the upper or lower surface and then filled the remaining very small gap with thin Teflon (0.005 or 0.010") or even leather (from an old sax pad for instance).
This results in a really firm and snappy response to the LH F/C operation.
Many brand new professional clarinets I have had in my workshop have needed this treatment.
