Introdução
If your Yamaha Advantage Clarinet has keys that stay down after you stop pressing them, causing the notes to lag behind your fingerings, it might be because the keys are sticky. Use this guide to repair those sticky keys.
The keys of a clarinet cover tone holes to change the pitch of the instrument, allowing players to play a desired note.
Step 8 requires you to press down the key hard but be aware not to press it too hard or it could damage the pad.
