Re: key pads

Have any pads installed properly by someone who can do a proper job, otherwise it will be a mistake.

And in addition to having cork pads fitted, the toneholes will most likely need all the pores and chips in them filled and then levelled in order to seat the pad onto so it creates an airtight seal. This has to be done as a matter of course otherwise you'll end up with a clarinet that leaks like a sieve if the imperfections aren't dealt with.
