Hi I need some help. The A Key on my B flat clarinet is sticking. When I press it down, it stays up. Is there anything I can do to fix it? Thanks.

Take it to a good technician. See what he/she can do.

It is a spring that isn`t working, you know these silly little metall things you don`t understand the purpose of? I think there is one underneath the key or something that pushes the key back again.

hey. if it is the key sticking b/c its sticky like b/c of moisture then get a dollar or 5 or any thing that is money that is paper and put it under the key and push down then pull the $1 out. dont ever use paper b/c it tears the pads apart always use money. b/c it is made special so it wont ruin the pads. if it isnt sticking b/c its sticky that take it to a shop to get it fixed

Actually, there is special paper you can buy for sticky pads, but dollar bills work well also. And like others have said, if that doesn`t work do take the instrument to a repair shop, but make sure its credible. I`m sure your local music store probably has or knows of a good technician you could go to.

You can also use cigarette papers that you use to roll your own cigarettes.
