Subj: Re: Clarinet Swedging Tools
Most repairers eventually have many swedging tools because it depends on the key and what you want to do. The Ferree's collet swedger is a good starting point. It's very good for swedging axial play, ok but

I assume you mean hinge tubes as opposed to hinge rods with pivot screws, which are usually not swedged (there are exceptions). Shims have a lot of down sides. They only help with the less cr

I'm not at work now to check, but I think the collet tool can work on as little as 1/8" / 3mm at the end of the key. I usually only swedge the ends. I'm more concerned about some keys than others. Swedgin

Subj: Re: What is swedging?
There is a soldering, not welding term, that you may be thinking of. It is "sweating", short for sweat-soldering. Its sometimes used on copper pipes. Swedging is, as Mr. Botch says, a way to make keys fit better. Common

I believe the word you are looking for is swedging. Swedging is used more for reducing the diameter of hinge tubes so they fit more snugly on the rods. No bending or pulling is necessary, th
