Repadding and recorking are not particularly difficult. I've done it. What
is very important though is to be sure to lay the keys and screws out on a
template that will not be disturbed until you are finished so that you can
insure that you get all the right screws back in the right keys.

I don't know where you would find it on the web. I happen to have a booklet
that shows the basics.

Taking the dents out is another issue. Unless it compromises the seating of
the pads, you don't have to worry about dents as it should play just fine
with them.

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.

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
