Re: Thoughts on the following repair tech quote?

A friend of mine replaced the tenon corks with a synthetic cork a couple of years ago. To replace them again, the repair tech would charge an additional $30 per tenon.
Since they are doing the job, I'll leave them as they are.

The tone holes seem undamaged to my eye, but I know they have to be pretty much perfect to make cork pads a viable option.

Some adjustment is definitely needed to remove play from the keys. My tech didn't mention anything about swedging.

I haven't used this tech before. I've play-tested instruments that he set up. They seem fine, and he is knowledgeable.

I think I paid around $400 USD for the YCL-62. It was in playable condition, but not performance-ready.

Thank you for your thoughts!
