Re: gurgling low register

I have had occaisional gurgling on a notes years ago on an instrument with bladder pad that had a tiny tear in the skin on the outside of the pad. As more water accumulated it would begin to gurgle, then next time be okay as it probably dried out between playing. The slit in the skin on the pad allowed the sort of felt -like inside to gradually accumulate moisture just like a blotter. It gradually got worse and when my flute-player husband suggested this he proved to be right. (flute pads are big and persnickity about seating and not leaking) We changed the pad and all was well.
