Really useful advice. Had a problem with the crows foot and the E/B key while restoring an old Carl Fisher. The whole key was bent upward a good millimeter or two. I bent it down a little, but didn't want to put too much force on it. Luckily I saw this video before hand. Just did your trick and right now, it works like a charm. Your videos are pure gold, thanks for sharing!
Wow..... my hero.... I have a new student clarinet and been struggling with that alternative B in the high register for the last couple of months, sure that it must be my embouchure or air too slow or moving off the reed sweet spot... now thanks to you I've fixed it by simply cutting out a tiny piece of Gorilla tape and sticking it under the crow's foot. What a difference! Thank you.
Thank you, thank you, thank you. Finally fixed my pesky E/B key problem. I followed the steps in your video and the instrument speaks easily when I press the E/B key.
Hi, do you have any recommendation on how to fix a little play in the LH Eb/Bb lever? it gives like a millimeter before actually engaging the whole mechanism, enough to be noticed. Same happens with the LH F/C lever. My clarinet is new and when I got it, a week ago, it felt like no play in those keys, but I feel it now. I noticed it today when I had to apply a bit more pressure on my LH pinky when playing mid B and C. I took a look and I see a little space between the felt at the tip of the lever and the rest of the mechanism. Thank you very much, your videos are a wonderful source of information!
thank you dear Tom for your big help . When you show as ripear one Full keys clarinet 21 keys as my selmer ? Do you have a mail Tom ?? Your italian friend Rossano :-)) Bye
Tom, I've heard you mention, throughout your books and videos, how extremely dated and archaic the Crows Foot is (or at least imply as such), and I'd like to know why this is the case. Does it not accomplish what it was designed to do logically and efficiently? I ask because I'm not sure if it does. I was also curious if you'd designed a different mechanism that achieves the same effect but with simplicity and greater rate of success. Your viewer, Dillon

worked just like you said with hole punch!

There are two different designs, both of which are greatly superior to the stone age version on almost all clarinets.
