 Re: Oh, the horror: Repadding your clarinet isn't that easy

Well, I believe I am near success! What was my big problem may have been the repad done by a previous person. The pads on the lower keys were very thick. I thought that was the way they were supposed to be set up. That's why I was having a dickens of a time getting my pads to the right height. His pads stood almost twice as high as my Valentino pads. I was using shims to try and match his heights. Maybe he used sax pads? Anyway, I got so frustrated and despondent that I decided to buy all new pads and strip off everything. Completely clean out the keys and just see what would happen if I used Valentino/regular-sized pads. I was afraid he might have bent/adjusted the keys for these higher heights he had set up and they wouldn't seal, but I just felt like I wanted a clean start. I put on the new pads and voila. They work great! No need to adjust keys or anything. I am so happy. I need to replace one more thick pad and I think I'll be as well adjusted as I need to be (given my skills). Thank you again for all your help.
