How does the instrument play NOW?
Have you spoken to a reputable repairer who has had a chance to play the
instrument?
Aren't these more the places to start?

Subject: [kl] overhaul question - new R-13
Hello,
I just purchased a new Buffet R-13 Bb and wanted to know if I should
have it
re-padded with better quality pads? Pretty much an overhaul without the
need for polishing and buffing the keys.
The R-13s come from the factory with Gortex synthetic pads which I have
been
told is not of the best quality. This could cause instability with the
instrument as pads not sealing properly, intonation problems, etc.
If you think I should re-pad it now, then what type of pad would you
recommend and why? The best double-bladder pads everywhere? Cork on
the
upper joint and double-bladder pads everywhere else? Or Valentino pads
everywhere? Lots of opinions I'm sure as what to use, eh?
Thank you in advance for your comments. Lori
