Re: How much of a leak to impact playing?

Thanks, I just want to add that by having another person just resting a finger over that pad, it was enough that it would not leak, even using the strong air pressure I was using to test.

Just the slightest touch of a finger over the pad was enough to seal it, which means the leak could be anything from a low spring tension to the pad itself.

Since the pad was not in a great shape, it will be replaced and the spring adjusted as well.

I will receive the instrument back this Friday, so I will post the results here. I am very interested to see how much this leak was actually impacting the playing.
