Repadding and recorking a clarinet is much, much more difficult that you would believe. There is a reason repairmen go to school to learn their craft.

Subject: [kl] Heavy Maintainance

I have a cheap clarinet that I want to play but it needs some heavy
maintenance to make it playable.

So my question is, where on the web or in libraries do I go to find
out about the nuts and bolts of re vamping re padding, re bending keys
and taking the dents out of a old beater. It's a metal clarinet that
been used occasionally as an offencive weapon.

I have the time and the inclination but no money and I am curious
about the arcane clarinet insider knowledge. So where do I look?

Thanks Brad
