These are great instruments, but they need to be set up well. The tricky part is that the pads need to be leveled with paper shims, not with glue like a standard clarinet pads. This means an overhaul will be time consuming and therefore expensive. Depending on the condition you could be spending over a thousand on repairs, but if it just needs a few pads like you say it will hopefully be much less. Generally the intonation is very good so you can expect it to be a good player after the overhaul.

The biggest downside to the instrument is that you do need a stool to play which is annoying. That being said they are great horns and I love mine. It's a blast to play and I always have a crowd of people around me at concerts asking what it is...
