Hello! I recently purchased an old Bundy resonite Eb Clarinet. Body and key work are solid, but it’s clear that it has sat in a musty case for many years, and probably wasn’t kept clean even while it was being played. It will need new pads and corks, along with a thorough cleaning of the bore and toneholes.
Is there any danger to immersing the resonite in soapy water overnight to help loosen the dirt and debris? Any other suggestions to help clean the instrument body? I took a woodwind repair class in college and hope to overhaul this instrument as a winter project.
P.S. Does anyone know where I can find the pad size measurements for a Bundy Eb?
