How To Take Apart a Clarinet

This video is about how to take the keys off of a clarinet. It shows how to do it in the correct order so that it is easy to put it back together. This video will show how to dis-assemble a clarinet if there are no problems. If you encounter a problem such as a stuck hinge rod, that will be addressed in a future video.

It's always nice to listen to someone with such great expertise. Thanks for these videos.

I found your saxophone key disassembly video very useful. This one looks good too.

Great video. This is so helpful. Thank you so much for posting it. I can't find any person to help me with my clarinet since the pandemic hit. Out of desperation I am attempting to change the pads myself. I ordered a junk clarinet off of Ebay and will experiment with it first. At least now I know how to go about it.-

Good work my friend

Brilliant, thanks. Just bought an old, cheap, clarinet of ebay which needs pads and cleaned and overhauled, never played one before, this has helped me a lot. How about how to replace the pad and general cleaning once stripped down. Thanks.

what diameters are the holes in the board? Thanks for these videos, I'm planning on fixing a clarinet and it's just a bit more complicated than a flute, so I'll need some help

Hi, I am new to clarinet, and i am currently dissembling one, because of the clarinet pads. I reassembled the top part, and none of the valves? are opening it correctly. do you have a video on properly reassembling the clarinet?

[@TheBrassandWoodwindShop]

I do not yet, but that is a good idea. I will try to do that video on Wednesday.

@@TheBrassandWoodwindShop thank you!

Thanks for this great video. A question: if a lever is misaligned and it won't close the hole fully, will loosening the screw, then tightening it back while holding it in the correct closing position fix it?

[@TheBrassandWoodwindShop]

It may work sometimes, but it would depend on why the key will not close. If the hinge rod or pivot screws are too tight, it will probably help, but for most cases, it will not help.

Hi thanks for making this video! Why do you take of the keys in a certain order and is it the industry standard?

[@AnimatorElite]

instead of a industry standard its just how there built
