Geez, I'll find the leaks most likely within 15 minutes. No charge...

I don't know what to say other than find a good repairman. As said in many posts I hate doing repairs, but worse, I also hate seeing people getting ripped off. A clarinet should hold a suction for 20 to 30 seconds. Yes it's hard to do right. With a new Buffet right out of the case you are lucky to get any suction at all. With cork pads on the upper register expect 1 minute.

Send it to me. Do not use wax, with the exception of the octave tube.
