I didn't read everyone's comments. I assume by now you've checked for leaks. If the horn is sealed well are the connecting joints also tight? How are the corks that connect the joints? This too can cause leaks and of course squeaks. It's probably already written, but hows the mouthpiece? I feel a mouthpiece should be looked at by a professional mouthpiece guru every few years because they can get dings, scratches, warped from heat and the ligature being too tight and dropped, all sorts of things happen.
I once saw a player, a student with a $400 ligature and a mouthpiece with a badly scratched up tip and rails. So sad! He couldn't get it fixed, because his mom said no! She was an idiot. Hope she is reading this.
Needless to say it could be the reeds and the mouthpiece combo.
Can you take some pics and post them of the mouthpiece, the side where the reeds lay? The table, the rails and the tip.
