Re: Bore maintenance advice

Thank you to all who replied with advice. Based upon what you've written I will ask the technician to beeswax the bore of the lower joint and see what happens. This, I think, is the easiest and least expensive first step as nothing has to be removed. If that works, problem solved. I'll then have the register tube removed and have the upper joint waxed.

If wax doesn't do it, I'll then inquire about the expense of more drastic teardowns and troubleshooting. I may try to borrow an R13 Bb and compare it to mine to see whether the small leak(s) I've got are actually a problem, trying to take into account the variations among instruments of the same make, model and vintage.

Really appreciate your help.
