Re: Leak lights, do they work?

I'm not sure how a leak light will make the process much easier. You still have to see the leak, adjust the pad, check again with the light and re-adjust the pad as necessary until the pad seats all the way around. Testing with a feeler (or paper) doesn't take much time if you're used to doing it.

FWIW, I've never seen a woodwind tech use a leak light, even though they use lights for flutes and saxes. Doesn't mean no one does it, but it seems less common than for larger-bored instruments.
