Re: HELP repairing clarinet spring

I have to add this, blue springs can rust too over the years and sometimes lose their tension and strength. For the past several years when horns need to be overhauled or need pads I often put a very then layer of dense grease on the springs, including the flat springs. This surely helps prevent any rust forming on the springs. You can get grease at automotive stores. One small tube will most likely last a lifetime. I've been using synthetic grease for many years.
