 Re: Is it Leaking?

Possible leak sources include:

Porous membrane covering a pad.
Small splits across a tone hole edge.
Other imperfections of a tone hole edge.
Tone holes under ring keys are often inserts, glued in, and sometimes the glue job is poor, allowing air to leak.
Sometimes a drilling for a post or mounting screw has gone a little too deep, and into the bore.
Occasionally the timber itself has some blemish, eg what resembles a minute borer hole through it.
Somtimes the leaks are through splits in a tenon.
