" . . . that kind of plays, but [has] . . . waxy buildup . . . pads frayed . . . keys stiff . . ."

I suspect that cleaning the waxy buildup on the tone holes, repadding, swedging and oiling keys that didn't close well, and other overhauling repairs and adjustments eliminated a lot of little leaks, with the result the clarinet plays much better, but with increased resistance as the air flow is more tightly controlled so it will leave the horn only where it is supposed to exit.
