Re: replacing pads or clarinet?

For me it means to attend to all the mechanical things, and poor aspects of manufacture, and replacing corks, springs as needed, etc - whatever is needed in order to put the instrument into a state where it is expected to play at its best and be reliable, or need very little touch-up adjustment, for a good many years. An overhaul means differing things for different models.

In round figures. I would say that the padding takes up 1/5 - 1/2 of the time of an overhaul, depending on the state of the instrument, including ones that are quite new.

IMO there is not a lot of point in repadding without attending to all the other 'infrastructure'.
