Re: High register key

When you press and then release the register key while not playing, does it close immediately or with a delay? If there is a delay, first thing to try would be to loosen the screw holding the register key a little bit.

The register key screw itself isn't causing any pressure which could restrict the register key movement, but sometimes a release of it may nevertheless ease up that movement.

If you have a wooden clarinet which hasn't been used for long, it's also possible that the wood has dried and caused the posts for the register key screw to press too much against the register key and thus restricting its movement. When the humidity of the clarinet body is restored, the problem will disappear.
