Re: Resistance with new(used) Uebel clarinet

some thoughts:

1. a Uebel will be more resistant, in terms of air, than a Edgeware. Also more in tune!
2. To compensate you may want a mouthpiece that is less resistant from an airflow point of view, which is different from tip opening (embouchure resitance). I have used a Selmer C85 for band work with good results. There are others out there. look from the bore end up towards the tip of the mouthpiece. On Vandorens among others you will see quite a narrow chamber. Some like this resistance to push against. For others (like me!) it causes us problems especially at the volume of a concert band setting.
3 with all due respect to your band colleague, I wonder if there's an issue with pad height and regulation of some of the lowest, largest pads on your instrument. Find an experienced tech who should also have some recommendations on a reliable courier to safely transport the instrument to and from. you won't regret it.
