What are 'clatter keys' on a Weltklang bari?

Noisy keywork/mechanism I think.

Correct. Forive my English! I mean that the keys were extremly noisy. After new pads, corks and felts the Weltklang sax played well.

...and I can supply the whistle for those 'I'm Sorry I Haven't A Clue' swannee-kazoo moments.

You're right Jules, Weltklang is a great word, regardless of whether you pronounce it W- or V- eltklang, kind of an all-purpose mild expletive or expression of frustration for those hammer/thumb interface incidences or when the Lloyds ATM in Hemel breaks down just when you think it's all working ok. Again.
