Re: Cork Pads...Yes or No?

It’s probably just me but I would never send my clarinet out for a repair unless there is no one capable of doing the work within driving distance. The reason is that I want to be there when the job is done so I can play it and see if I’m satisfied with the final job. I like to be able to say, can you make this a bit higher, or a bit lower, or tighter or easier etc. I’ve seen to many mail jobs done well but not exactly to the taste or feel of the player and then you have to send it back with instructions to what you want or live with it. If it’s just cork pads, which I love, the noise doesn’t bother me a bit, I don’t even notice it, any good repairman can put them in, as long as they use quality cork. My suggestion is to find someone in driving distance; you can mail it to them but pick it up in person, try it out and be critical before you drive home. ESP

PS. if you go with cork pads in the up joint the 1/1 sould be a regular pad as the first pad in the lower joint so when using the 1/1 it has the same feel.
