like i posted before my friend s season clarinet player ,(was rebuilding a clarinet that was given to him)retired now could not figure out why his was sqeaking on certain notes he was truly baffled , the problem one screw from his thumb rest was missing (no big deal ) 3 screw thumb rest , one screw missing no big deal , ,when he would shift is thumb , the clarinet sqeaked . what he did not know at the time was that the missing screw (the hole went through the wood into the clarinet and it would act like a register key when he moved his thumb ) he pluged the hole up with a screw and no more squeaks ,.
