Leak fixed..what a difference!

I've been playing my 'new' BC for maybe four months now, after a 35 year hiatus. Struggling with lots of harmonics on low notes and tough clarion. I've listened to (and read) the advice to have it looked at. First I did fabricate a light to run down the bore. I found what looked like a good sized leak around maybe 1/2 the left thumb F key. Took it in, he 'reseated' two pads and fixed the balky left pinky F (wasn't springing back).

$24 later and WOW what a difference. Clarion still not great, but the chalumeau is SO much better. Almost no accidental harmonics. I feel like now I can really start practicing.

Thanks for the advice.
