Oh Ed unfortunately you were right. I just came from the repair shop were the open Ab/G# pad was replaced and the B/E mechanism was adjusted. I bought it in easter time 2005 and the repair man said it was fine but obviously used a lot. He also said that the rod connecting the c key on the lower joint has worn off that much(it's loose) it would be hard to have the crows foot B/E mechanism in complete adjustment but if it would not stay good now then he would have to try something more drastic. He also said that oiling it would help to prevent this but once it's worn it really is worn. I oil my clarinet with doctor's key oil 1-2 times a year as the doctor advices but maybe I should have let the repair man check the clarinet more the 3 times or so it had some minor adjustment in the past.
