Basic Clarinet Repair Series #1, E/B Mechanism Adjustment

A quick guide to one of the most common adjustments needed on the soprano clarinet

Thank you so much. My (only) local repair shop is pretty much only competent in saxophones and has messed up my alto clarinet a few times whilst taking several weeks to do so. This has just fixed the problem in 5 minutes.

Thanks for the great info. When is preferable to use a thicker cup instead of bending keys? I am a novice and only prefer to make adjustments to my own instrument. Thanks for your reply.

Hello could this fix my problem for my instrument? The b key and C sharp key tend to go down at the same time for some reason

hi i have the same problem, have you been able to fix it?

[@alexerazo8192]

@@redaidrissi777 I wasn’t able to get it fixed unfortunately but I know it’s because there’s a screw missing around that area. Try to see if you have any missing screws because that’s what’s probably causing it
