I just got my Buffet Prestige back from John Butler in Sugarland, TX. To call my horn filthy would have been a compliment. But he cleaned and repadded my horn. Really did a brilliant job.
I was curious of his playing impressions of my horn and if he felt the old Buffet was 'blown out', plus I was curious what he did to my horn. Here's what he said:
"It sounds really fine to me. “Blown out” means to me that the timbre needs to stabilize after a thorough cleaning, oiling and waxing (yes, I wax the wood with beeswax). I think you’ll be pleasantly surprised with the results and it should last for many years to come. Let me know if I can be of further assistance."
So the Beeswax has some credence and might help your R13.
