I got in a clarinet with absolutely no name or any sort of
identification. It gets very stuffy at low G and won't play anything
below that. I have checked for leaks and everything else I can think
of. Anybody have any ideas ?

Hi Dave,
When you say that you checked for leaks, what method
did you use? I had a clarinet in recently that leaked like a sieve
everywhere but in the padding. There were leaks at the posts and around
the tone hole inserts. To find them I took the keys off, plugged up all
the tone holes and one end with the neoprene plugs from JL Smith and
Kraus, put it in water and lightly blew into the open end. Bubbles came
out of that horn everywhere!
Maybe you've already done this though. Let us know.
Michelle

Thanks for your quick
reply michele. I checked the pads with a leak light but did not think
to check out the other hardware. Thanks I will give that a try.

did what michele suggested and it took just a couple of minutes to find
out that one of the tone hole inserts was loose. The funny part is that
I then tried to play the instrument with the cork still in the bottom.
As soon as I took the cork out and reattacned the inser) the instrument
played just fine
Thanks
