At 60, I'm finally starting off on a personal dream: being able to work on my own clarinets.
Yesterday, I built up the bridge key of an old Thibouville clarinet and got it to play long B just fine. Victory! Contact cement and card stock!
Oddly, the clarinet cannot sound the pinched Bb. I assume this has absolutely nothing to do with my work on the bridge key. Also, in the clarion there is a "grunt" and the clarinet wants to drop back down to the fundamental.
The register key looks fine to me. Throat A plays (and G#). Side Bb plays. But no pinched Bb.
Can anyone give me a clue? Thank you!!!
