 cork pad leaking
Author: Arnoldstang

I have a clarinet with the second from top trill key that is leaking. It's a cork pad and like most clarinets the key closure is coming in from the side rather than just an up and down motiion. There is a little play in the key so I will swedge it to stop that. I can't determine where the leak is with a feeler gauge and my leak light is too large to go inside the clarinet. I know there isn't great suctiion on the top joint and I think it's this key. How should I proceed ...other than going to a repair person. I want to do it myself. Reheat the key/pad? John
