Re: G# D# key pad replace

Dear Gordon,

I wish I'd read your earlier article. It may have prevented me from setting a brand new Mirimatsu on fire - one brief, shining moment.

I have recently had an issue with that very post to which you refer being loose on a clarinet. The spring does "weaken" because the post is twisting in the opposite direction but it is my experience that the key rotates about the pivot tube much like a door hinge and not the other way around.

I have two sincere follow up questions since I am "home schooled." When you foat in the pads, do you re-apply heat after mounting on the horn to get a correct seat? Wouldn't lacquer be better if only because you can SEE it if there is any smear around the working part of the pad? I have experienced clear glue in a not so positive way.
