 Re: Venting height and pitch ?

The distance a normally closed pad opens when the key is depressed fully. An open cup is said to be vented. A cup where another cup immediately below it remains closed is said to be under-vented. Not necessarily a bad thing, just a fact. On clarinet, venting height only applies to keys with key cups of course. Much bigger deal on the larger instruments like bass and all saxophones and closed hole flutes.

Luckily the heights set at the factory are usually ok. Players normally leave key height adjustments to their tech. Doing it yourself can do more harm than good if you’re unqualified. If you suspect an issue caused by incorrect heights, tell your tech the symptoms, and trust his/her judgement.
