Acrochallenge!

Hello, all my acrofriends. And welcome to another mind-numbing round of acromania.

I'm appealing to you all for some help here. Well, actually I'm not, but Mr M is.

As you know, Mr M has the beloved Rossi clarinet. The clarinet he paid an extortionate amount of money for, although it does come with a rather cute screwdriver for tightening keys. He loves this instrument, and in a world where men are free to marry musical instruments, I'm sure they'd be strolling down the aisle. And playing their own first dance song.

Well, for about the past two weeks, there's been a problem with the Rossi. Mr M will be playing along, then will get into about the high B-natural, high C range, and the thing just goes nuts. It hesitates, the notes won't come out, and it's driven him just about to the brink of a nervous breakdown. He's shoved leak lights up it to look around, has removed keys and replaced them, has performed all sorts of minor surgeries, and nothing has helped. He's going to drastic measures tonight - a blowout, so speak. He's blowing it out to see if there's anything lodged inside.

Anyway, this week's acrotopic shall be, "What Is Wrong With Mr M's Clarinet?" Maybe you clever sorts can come up with the answer to his problem.

All the other rules are the same. Everyone gets three entries to come up with the best acronym that matches not only the topic above, but also the letters below which are randomly drawn from the acrobasket. The acrobasket offered to lose a handle once to make Mr M a new clarinet reed. Then tomorrow at 10:00 pm est, I shall be reading the entries and naming the winners.

The topic, "What Is Wrong With Mr M's Clarinet?" The letters:

H I C E F K

So, help a friend in need. Acro.

Hummus is caked, effectively fouling keys.

Harvey invisibly covers each faulty keyhole.

He imagines clarineting errors--functions keenly.
