BTW, I would never suggest that you do this type of repair yourself. The "heat" they applied is something which involves a great deal of control to get it right without burning the pad or the instrument body. You have take into account where the heat will spread too, once you start heating up a pad cup. It is VERY easy to torch the clarinet body. The other factors here is knowing how long to heat the pad cup and being able to verify that the pad is seating against the tone hole and making sure that the alignment of the low F and E work in conjunction (so you don't have to squeeze).

Hopefully you are able to see the complexity of what you are really paying for when you have a pro do it.
