I recently tried to help a customer who brought in a Yamaha wooden bass clarinet on which all of the notes played easily and clearly except 3rd octave F#, G, and G#. These notes were incredibly stuffy and sometimes didn't speak at all unless approached going up a scale.
I couldn't find any leaks or insufficient key openings, and the neck was airtight as well. My question is: did I miss something, or is this a problem inherent with this make and model of bass clarinet?
