Changing pads

Author: clarnibass

Hello

I am going to have the pads on my clarinet changed. Considering the price and quality of the work I saw around here I decided there is no reason not to do it myself, eventhough I don't experience.
The pads I will put on my clarinet are leather pads.

I decided that for practice I'll change the pads on my old R13 (which needs some new pads anyway). I'd like to ask what tools exactly do I need to be able to change all pads on a clarinet (I don't have any repair tools other than some screwdrivers). Also, where can I get pads that will match a R13.

There is a place I saw many mention called Ferree's but they have all sizes of pads. In that case I probably need to measure the sizes of the pads I have already, so would also need a tool for that.

Thanks, and any help will be appreciated.
