Thanks for this. Ana really knows, & she is a good player too. We never stop learning. This video should be compulsory viewing for every Clt player. Well done & thanks again.

Thank you for this Great video as always. One more video on the final adjustment including fixing noisy keys, tweaking cork on keys...would be great.

Very interesting! I have just spent hours and hours trying to put in new pads on the low E and F keys. Have now destroyed two pads. This is an extremely skilled job. Why are clarinet pads so weak with paper and very thin skin. Give me sax pads any day. Don’t think Dawkes will be offering a job any time soon!

Yep, it's harder than it looks. You can always get leather pads for Clarinet (and Gore-Tex) which are sturdier, but the skill is in putting them in correctly which takes time, teaching and practice :)

dawkesmusic Thank you. The pads are in BUT the needle springs are not working properly.......l.l.

The same clarinet😀 but it looks new

After the re-padding, do you check each joint with Differential Pressure Gauge, to see if it seals well - not only 'audibly' (by play testing it) but physically too (which may or may not be audible right after re-padding)?

Hi, yes - after the re-pad all joints are checked as full joints, and each pad is individually checked by hand to ensure optimum seating.

Is there any way to keep the low E key from *barking* (stuttering) with the octave key? It doesnt happen when I add my left hand pinky just when using the "right hand pinky only"

Qual essa cola que você está usando? O Shellac que eu uso é mais escuro

É shellac. Qualquer shellac deve estar bem para o trabalho.
